Interview: Ryan Batchelor chaired a Victorian State Government committee considering climate resilience - near two years of work resulted in a report of more than 450 pages

Ryan Batchelor (pictured) is the member for Melbourne's Southern Metropolitan in Victoria's Legislative Council and is the chair of the Environment and Planning Committee.Mr Batchelor and his committee spent nearly two years considering and preparing a report of more than 450 pages about the state's "Climate Resilience".Sadly, the committee's terms of reference for the study didn't allow it to consider mitigation, but rather adaptation in reference to the state's built environment.
