About the Event

Australia’s environmental evidence is expanding faster than our ability to assemble it. Satellites, sensors, ranger programs, Defence monitoring and research infrastructures are generating unprecedented data. But fragmentation means critical insights remain locked in silos.

Major national decisions now depend on rapid, trusted environmental intelligence. From the upcoming State of the Environment Report to Defence estate stewardship, disaster‑risk planning and state land management, organisations need data that is findable, interoperable and ready for use at scale.

The cost of inaction is rising. Without a connected environmental data ecosystem, Australia risks slower responses, weaker accountability and missed opportunities to build sovereign capability in environmental intelligence.

This webinar brings together 3 speakers to confront a central question: how do we turn a fragmented environmental data landscape into a connected, resilient, national‑scale capability that serves reporting, operations and long‑term stewardship? If you care about the long-term health of Australia’s land and the institutions that steward it, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.
