Briony Rogers on resilient communities, systems change, and fire to flourish

Briony Rogers on resilient communities, systems change, and fire to flourish

In this episode, Elizabeth speaks with Professor Briony Rogers, based at Monash University’s Sustainable Development Institute. Briony is CEO of Fire to Flourish, a pioneering initiative partnering with fire-affected communities, researchers and philanthropy to co-create a model of holistic support for community-led disaster recovery and resilience building.

They discuss Briony’s journey as both an engineer and social scientist, and dig into her work on Fire to Flourish, which emerged after the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. They discuss the innovative ways they’re engaging with communities, including participatory granting which allows them to decide how they’ll allocate their own support funds. They cover optimism, navigating change, and why centring relationships and taking the time to build trust matters so much to our work on the climate frontier!
