Join the National Library for the 2025 Kenneth Myer Lecture in Melbourne, presented by Professor Brett Sutton AO.

The world is increasingly faced with what might be termed existential threats – climate change, biodiversity loss, fracturing of multilateralism and social cohesion, enabled by political and ideological polarisation and mis- and disinformation. These threats have complex inter-relationships but can negatively synergise and represent a profound and urgent issue for Australia’s wellbeing in the world.

Professor Brett Sutton explores these ‘wicked problems’ and provides thoughts on how, in tackling them, we can support and revive Australia’s wellbeing as a public and global good.

This event will take place at The Pavilion, Arts Centre Melbourne.

Entry is free, but bookings are essential.

Light refreshments will be served following the presentation.
