How well do we understand the increasing risks in the outdoors due to climate change? These risks include more volatile and unseasonal weather events, heatwaves, fires, floods, and landslides. As a result, we must rethink how we plan and prepare for outdoor activities and how we respond when incidents arise. Outdoor practitioners now require greater expertise—understanding the environments they navigate, accessing real-time information, making effective decisions in changing conditions, and managing communications with diverse stakeholders.As natural disasters become more frequent, societal expectations are shifting. Regulators, land managers, insurers, and participants are reshaping the future of outdoor adventure, often placing greater responsibility on outdoor professionals with a duty of care for others. This session will help you assess your readiness—individually, organisationally, and within your community—to adapt to these changes. It will also provide practical strategies to build resilience across people, finances, risk management, and operations in an increasingly uncertain and dynamic environment.
