Cumulative Impacts and Super Diversity Webinar

How to create social value and manage risk in an increasingly complex environment. 

Join the ANU I2S team for an evidence-based journey through the trials and opportunities of engaging communities around major infrastructure projects. 

Working to deliver social value but not sure how?

Want to better manage the social risk facing your projects?

Wondering how to manage opposition in infrastructure-intensive environments?

We’re bringing you the latest findings on social risk and cumulative effects management, combined with our newest work on superdiversity. When you leave this session, you will:

• • Have access to new ways to visualise and understand the communities with whom you’re engaging (in 3D!), 
  • Be able to scan your projects for the Top 7 Most Common Social Risk Factors 
  • Understand key connections between intensive project environments, communities’ perceived risks and social value creation.
