Geoff Lacey and Steven AimsA civil engineer, Geoff Lacey is also well known as a pioneering environmentalist and naturalist. He is the author of a landmark work on the ecology of the Yarra: ‘Still glides the Stream’: the Natural History of the Yarra from Heidelberg to Yarra Bend (2004). An Honorary Senior Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Geoff Lacey discussed how society has failed adequately to respond to the global warming crisis and proposes a prophetic model as an impetus for change. Professor Lacey explained how the prophetic model will empower humanity to solve this global catastrophe.

Stephen Ames drew out some theological reflections on the implications for how we might adjust to environmental threats. Stephen is an Anglican priest, a Canon at St Paul’s Cathedral and lectures in the History and Philosophy of Science programme at the University of Melbourne. He is one of the founders of Social Policy Connections, and first president of the Yarra Institute for Religion and Social Policy.
