What questions keep you up at night about climate change?
Through Curious Climate, Tasmanian residents can now ask scientists and researchers everything they would like to know.
You might want to know what the big issues are in the region you live, or in your own backyard.
You might be interested in options for tackling climate change around the world, how quickly things are predicted to change and where the impacts will be felt the most, or how it will affect your own health or income.
Maybe you're interested in how we can adapt to climate change in the agriculture or fisheries sectors, or how our cities will be affected by the many potential consequences of climate change.
We'll start working on answering some of your questions in July.
The most frequently asked questions will be answered by our research team and will be accessible via a series of online videos and public presentation events around Tasmania in August.
Our project partners for Curious Climate Tasmania are the Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS), the University of Tasmania (UTAS), the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), Tasmania Institute of Agriculture (TIA), and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Some data collected may be used for research purposes (information here).
This audience engagement project utilises Hearken, a digital platform that allows the public to submit or vote on questions they would like reporters to investigate, and enables reporters to partner with the public throughout the reporting process.
