Adaptation and resilience are not just about putting in place the right technology and systems. It’s social change, which means that it’s about people changing what they think and do.

gramma consulting is a new AWP Partner and they are all about constructively using words to get good things done – by sharing what we know, building trust and organising collective action towards a common goal. None of those are possible without effective communication, which is more than just promotions or awareness raising.

An experienced writer, Lynette Smith, the director of gramma consulting, has worked with subject matter experts in climate and environmental science, economics, risk and government policy. She’s worked on the Bureau of Meteorology’s water information program and, more recently, given advice to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on their Water Cycle System Adaptation Action Plan.
