Online workshop | Environmental Leadership: Tools they don't teach - Increasing your impact as an environmental professional | Workshop 8
Read MoreOrdinary leadership training isn't designed for environmental professionals. We face unique challenges - from navigating complex stakeholder dynamics to driving systems change while managing scientific uncertainty. Environmental leadership demands resilience, the ability to perceive and respond to interconnected factors, and skills to hold organisations accountable while safeguarding the wellbeing of species and ecosystems.
This program fills the gap. Rather than learning generic leadership theory, you'll be guided by an environmental leadership expert and learn to use tools specifically designed for environmental professionals working in complex, high-stakes contexts.

Webinar | Wildlife monitoring at Australia’s sub-Antarctic islands and the detection of Avian Influenza at Heard Island
Read MoreAustralia’s sub-Antarctic islands are among the most remote and extraordinary places on the planet, home to vast colonies of seabirds and seals, species found nowhere else, and ecosystems on the frontline of global environmental change. This webinar offers a rare look at how wildlife is monitored in these challenging environments, and how researchers are working to understand emerging threats such as highly pathogenic avian influenza at Heard Island.
Join Dr Julie McInnes as she explores the wildlife monitoring at Australia's two sub-Antartic Island groups and some of the work carried out to understand the impacts of HPAI at Heard Island.

Webinar | Water Quality Matters – A Deep Dive Into 25 Years of Water Quality From Environmental, Process and Regulatory Perspectives
Read MoreUnderstanding water quality in an environmental context is not a one-size-fits-all exercise. While guidelines such as the ANZECC water quality guidelines provide a critical framework, the implications of their ‘carte blanche’ application often have real-world implications. In practice, this can lead to overly conservative targets, unnecessary costs, and outcomes that are not aligned with actual environmental risk.

Online workshop | Tools for stronger argument and clearer writing | Workshop 59
Read MoreMany people feel that professional documents, including the demanding ones for Impact Assessment (IA) or Assessment of Environmental Effects in New Zealand, are overly long, complex and filled with unnecessary details. Many suggest that better-written documents would help. That idea isn’t wrong, but it isn’t enough. Because you can’t write clearly if you don’t have something clear to say. And many professionals, who can master data and analysis, struggle with converting their observations into useful conclusions and recommendations.

Online workshop | Meaningful public participation and Impact Assessment: Tools for effective engagement and communications | Workshop 3
Read MorePublic participation, often referred to as community engagement, is a cornerstone of impact assessment (IA) and planning approvals processes. However, ongoing challenges to meaningful engagement include:
- the complexity of the regulatory environment,
- navigating uncertainty in impact assessment of policies, plans, programmes or projects, and
- often low levels of public trust in organisations involved in these endeavours, the media, and governance processes[1].
Join EIANZ and facilitator Tanya Burdett, for training in public participation, with a focus on impact assessment, explores 13 foundational, essential and contextual elements that combine to form meaningful engagement in IA.
[1] The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer suggests 61% have moderate or higher sense of grievance, with impacts on trust; and there are similarly low levels of trust in the emerging role of AI according to a recent KPMG / MelbUni study on trust, attitudes and AI use here
