Waurn Ponds Library

Meeting Room

Come along on this visual journey of knowledge and leave with a deep understanding of our planet. This unmissable event is part of the National Sustainability Festival 2025.

What is the current state of the earth’s climate and how do we repair and protect people and planet? How can we address these topics in a way that “picks up” everyone? Well, Esther shows us, that one way to go is with visually attractive and easy-to-understand infographics.

This talk will feature graphics from her latest book, Atlas of a Threatened Planet – 150 graphics to help anyone save the world (Island Press, Washington D.C.), which has just been released in Australia.

Book sales will be available on the night.

This event is part of the National Sustainability Festival 2025.
