چکیده

Climate change is a familiar issue. It is an issue where we can observe the ways societies and their leaders frame and respond to wicked problems. If we believe the predictions of the vast majority of qualified scientists the climate problem has the potential to devastate life on the planet and civilisation as we know it. The Alfred Deakin Lecture Series – held in Melbourne and Bendigo, Australia in June 2010 – provided deep consideration from a wide range of disciplines of the challenges and opportunities faced in tackling climate change. This event report draws out material and perspectives from lectures and panel discussions of interest to the futures community. Further, the lectures should be considered an example of applied futures thinking, drawing on macro-historical perspectives, images of the future and systems thinking. The lectures are, thus, a model which could be replicated around the world to help promote futures thinking. First, an overview of perspectives provided in key lectures is provided, then Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) is used to analyse the different depths of the climate change discourse present in these lectures.
