This presented was developed for the Ministerial Regional Community Forum for Greater Brisbane, now called the State Government Community Forum. It accompanied a paper that proposed that the State Government's Centre of Excellence for Climate Change directly engage with artistic practice and practitioners to develop interdisciplinary spaces for exploring climate science. The proposal attracted a great deal of community interest, but was not pursued by the government.

Editor's Notes
- Creativity & Science Partnerships Acknowledge Traditional custodians and elders – thank you for welcoming the forum Acknowledge dignitaries – the Honourable Treasurer, Parliamentary Secretary, Members of Parliament, local Council representatives, Senior public sector representatives Acknowledge community This regional proposal considers the potential benefits of art-science or art-industry collaboration through the state government’s Climate Change agenda, specifically through the Climate Change Centre of Excellence. This proposal is more like a proposition or aspiration – a ‘what if …’ in the face of the compelling evidence about climate change. There is also further potential for extended application of ‘creatives’ in research, innovation and industry. When I talk about creatives, I am talking about the people who apply artistic knowledge and creative know-how, not just evoking particular ideas about art as they relate to fine arts and artforms. The current times and challenges call for a new way of engaging artists – not just in terms of what they do, but in terms of what they know, the processes they use and the perspectives they bring. It means considering new roles for artists where applied creativity is a catalyst for change. This proposal presents a VISION for engaging the real potential of creativity in the knowledge and innovation economy to create more sustainable and resilient possibilities and futures. It’s about being true to the potential and idea of the knowledge economy, not just mouthing the rhetoric. It’s about capturing all the intellectual and creative capital we have in our comparatively small population and harnessing it for positive and adaptive action. Science alone will not provide all answers and solutions we need, so there is a need to engender interdisciplinary approaches.
