From 11 November, Port Macquarie Hastings locals and visitors can explore the Australian Museum's Future Now exhibition currently at the Port Macquarie Library.
Future Now is a captivating touring exhibition showing the technologies we can use and actions we can take to create a healthier, safer, fairer and more affordable future.
With detailed models of a green city, a sustainable house, and well-managed coastal and rural landscapes, Future Now demonstrates practical ways to improve safety and strengthen community resilience as Australia continues to experience more extreme weather events.
Each module will feature physical and audio-visual content that will bring to life sustainable landscapes and highlight innovative solutions for tackling climate change.
Australian Museum Director and CEO Kim McKay AO said Future Now is part of a suite of exhibitions and activities around climate change, including the AM's Climate Solutions Centre which presents cutting-edge research and technological, community-driven and nature-based solutions, to inspire commitment and change.
"As custodians of the collection of 22 million objects and specimens and leaders in natural history research, we're uniquely positioned to drive climate action. Future Now exemplifies this commitment-taking evidence-based solutions on the road to inspire communities across Australia," Ms McKay said.
Port Macquarie Hastings Council (PMHC) Library Services Coordinator Fiona Pepper said the exhibition will provide the community an opportunity to explore ideas for a more sustainable future.
"We're delighted to host Future Now at the Port Macquarie Library and invite the community to come along and experience this free, interactive exhibition," Ms Pepper said.
"Future Now is designed to spark curiosity and start conversations about the future we want to create, and the library is a great place for these conversations to begin."
