Glenn ChristieGlenn ChristieDirector and Revegetation Consultant at Successionn Ecology

Glenn is a Director at Succession Ecology, an Adelaide based company that harnesses the abilities of ecosystems that “hide in plain sight”. He is of the view that Climate Change will upend our notions of normal; encompassing temperature, rainfall & productivity. He believes there is urgency required in terms of action & sees that Renewables has a major role in “buying time” & providing a “reasonable Hope”. Glenn is particularly interested in how the ecosystems services provided by restoration shape temperatures, soil building, transpiration & rainfall. He wants to thread the eye of the needle by using restoration to increase Renewables productivity, reduce their operations & maintenance costs & more than pay for itself, be profitable. He has over 30 years experience as a seed collector and leads a ferocious team that collects over 3 tonnes of native seed annually. His curiosity is undaunted and his sense of humour is still intact.

Description

· The current uneasy dynamic of engagement between renewables, infrastructure & regional communities will be forced to shift due to rapidly increasing temperatures caused by Climate Change

· Renewables & electrical infrastructure; (panels, turbines, inverters & HV transmission lines), all lose efficiency with increasing temperature

· The viability of agricultural products & therefore, regional communities is also threatened due to temperature increases as thermal limits/efficiencies are reached in grain & livestock production

· There is a small but influential body of work that implies landscape scale restoration (a minimum of 2,000 hectares) can stabilise & reduce temperatures plus increase rainfalls by up to 10%; impacting an area 5-10 kilometres around the restoration

· This landscape scale restoration; (that will be made affordable by the investment of renewables), will increase efficiency for renewables & infrastructure plus increase the resilience of regional communities

· Renewables, infrastructure & regional communities actually need each other; there’s an interdependence that is being forced into focus….
