WELCOME
When we first decided to host iDEA 2019 in Hobart, we were excited
about the opportunity to invite a variety of inspiring speakers, and to
show off our home town to visitors from around Australia. As we
started to ask people about what they wanted from the conference, our
vision shifted. People wanted more opportunity for interaction – with
the speakers and with each other. They wanted iDEA to be more than
just listening; they wanted a platform for action.
The speakers on our program are inspirational and will present a
variety of perspectives. Although none will shy away from the
complexity and the urgency of the environmental issues Australia
faces, wherever possible they will offer avenues for action that are Dr Kris Barnden
relevant to health professionals. In most sessions we have allowed
plenty of time for a panel discussion and audience Q&A.
iDEA 2019 also offers for the first time the opportunity to participate
in Open Space sessions. A proven technique for generating real results,
Open Space allows participants to set the agenda, and combine to build
on their own ideas, passions, and expertise.
The pre-conference workshop program on Friday 5th April offers the
opportunity to dig deeper into various aspects of our work, and to build
skills and community.
As we come to the end of a summer of unprecedented Chris Harvey
environmental disasters around Australia, and as leaders continue to
refuse to acknowledge the gravity of the situation we find ourselves in,
it is more important than ever that iDEA 2019 really does fulfil its
mission of both inspiring and enabling action.
“Keeping the lights on” has become an empty and cynical phrase
used to shut down serious conversation on transitioning to renewable
sources of power. iDEA 2019 will reclaim and subvert the phrase: we
are about keeping on the metaphorical lights of scientific reason,
compassion, and care for one another and our world.

iDEA 2019 - Keeping the Lights On Page 5 SUSTAINABILITY Doctors for the Environment Australia is a group of concerned individuals working together to create future worth living in. Sustainability is an overarching theme with everything we do. Fighting for a sustainable future involves advocating for broad societal change, for example through lobbying, meeting with politicians, peaceful demonstrations, and non-violent protests. In addition, on an individual level, in order to be a strong voice for sustainability we must practice what we preach. This can include challenging current consumer culture and using resources responsibly. As medical professionals and health advocates most of us occupy a relatively affluent position in society. We are familiar with the comforts of modern life - comforts which can have significant environmental implications. We also occupy a unique position in that, for better or worse, communities look to us with a certain level of respect and anticipation of leadership on issues affecting health. Thus we have both the opportunity and the social responsibility to be champions for a sustainable future. Whilst we are pleased to be offsetting the carbon emissions produced by iDEA19 in full, we have also taken the opportunity to explore in what other ways we can use the event for positive environmental outcomes. In organising the iDEA19 program, we considered, as broadly as possible areas of opportunity to improve our environmental sustainability and formulated goals around these. For example, as well as assessing our decisions about food and waste production, we also considered factors such as the energy consumption of our conference venue. To read the full list of goals, please contact the organising committee. Hopefully these goals can be built upon and used into the future when DEA plan and undertake various activities, events, and campaigns around the country. Furthermore we hope to produce an event management guide that could be used by other individuals or groups. It is important to note that all areas of event management present opportunity for sustainable considerations and should not simply be limited to what we identified. We would love to see this template expanded over time. Hannah Birch, Chester James-Smith, Annabelle Rival iDEA19 Sustainability Team

iDEA 2019 - Keeping the Lights On Page 15 ACADEMIC DAY ONE KEYNOTES The opening session of iDEA 2019 introduces three keynote speakers who are original thinkers, passionate communicators, and leaders in their fields. CLEAN FUTURES The speakers in session 2 are all change makers who are working to bring Australia, and the world, away from fossil fuels and towards a clean energy future. They come from a diversity of backgrounds and have worked at different levels – from policy to community organisation to public health and communication. OPEN SPACE In Open Space sessions, participants will form smaller groups to explore the topics they feel most passionate about, offer their own thoughts and expertise, and work towards plans for action and advocacy. VULNERABLE POPULATIONS This session looks at some of the people most vulnerable to the effects of climate change; our Pacific neighbours, refugees, women and children. These are the people who struggle to have their voices heard, but possibly with the most to tell us about solutions to climate change. Speakers will tell their stories through the lenses of ethics, justice, and health.
iDEA 2019 - Keeping the Lights On Page 16 OPEN SPACE WHAT IS OPEN SPACE ? It’s never possible to capture everyone’s interests within a pre-planned conference. We’ve introduced the process of Open Space to enable you to discuss, develop ideas, solutions and opportunities for collaboration around the issues you are most passionate about. The conference themes contain some amazing presenters. Combining their insights with your knowledge and passions through Open Space you will leave the conference feeling inspired and more deeply connected with others who are ready to make a difference. “Open Space works best when the work to be done is complex, the people and ideas involved are diverse, the passion for resolution (and potential for conflict) are high, and the time to get it done was yesterday." - Michael Herman

ACADEMIC DAY TWO
STEWARDSHIP : CARING FOR THE PLACES THAT SUSTAIN
US
The speakers at this session are all Tasmanians with deep
connections to our landscapes and oceans. How are human
communities being affected by unfolding environmental
disasters? How can communities care for the places that
sustain us?
SUSTAINABLE ENVIORNMENTS
Urban environments offer unique challenges and exciting
solutions to issues such as sustainability and climate change.
This session will have a strong health focus.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE : KEEPING OUR OWN
MOVEMENT SUSTAINABLE
Environmental health is the greatest public health challenge
of our time, and doctors and students working together can
be powerful advocates for change. Education,
communication and mentorship are vital. The conference will
close with an address from Tasmanian author and
environmentalist, Richard Flanagan.iDEA 2019 - Keeping the Lights On Page 18 COCKTAIL NIGHT The iDEA19 team cordially invites you to our cocktail evening.

iDEA 2019 - Keeping the Lights On Page 19 NO TIME FOR GAMES No time for Games is a unique health campaign launched by DEA in front of Parliament House last year and based on a published report (2015) and its updated summary (2018) with the same name. It is unique as it aims to unify the health profession across Australia to speak up and demand effective and urgent action on climate change in order to protect children’s health. With endorsement and support from many medical colleges including the RACP and its paediatric and child health division, AMSA, and many influential doctors such as Prof Fiona Stanley, Dr Suezanne Packer (Paediatrican and senior Australian of the Year 2019) Prof Tillman Ruff (Nobel Peace Prize Recipient for ICAN), Prof David Isaacs, Prof Peter Doherty and Prof Susan Prescott, this campaign is bringing the voice of the medical fraternity and the health sector into the advocacy space and to our policy makers and the public at large. It can't be left to our children to do the heavy lifting! Recently DEA member and supporters of No Time for Games were at the school strike for climate in every state of Australia with the No Time for Games banner. No Time for Games is the answer to the call by many health organisations which ask that doctors and medical students speak out on the health impacts of climate change. Please see us at the No Time for Games booth, sign up today and find out how you can help support this campaign far and wide, before we present our pledges of support to the Prime Minister of Australia and the Leader of the Opposition, at election time.
