As catastrophic fires and drought sweep eastern Australia, world-leading scientists warn that climate tipping points are too risky to bet against. What are the likely ecological and social consequences and how does the evidence justify an emergency-level response?
It’s becoming abundantly clear that we can’t deal with the existential threat of climate disruption with the usual politics of slow change and compromise. How can we develop a stand up, fearless form of leadership that moves us beyond the failure of business & politics as usual?
What would a response as big as the threat of climate breakdown look like and how would Australia respond across the political, economic and social spectrum? An expert panel take the hot seats for a not-so-hypothetical plunge into dreaming the impossible and making it happen.
Australia’s first responders and affected communities reflect on the devastating climate impacts playing out around Australia. Hear first hand accounts from people on the ground as unprecedented crises hits home.
As the momentum for a climate emergency response grows louder, so too does the fear of authoritarian power and loss of democratic rights. Can we set out to achieve maximum protection from climate change while safeguarding our liberties and creating a more just world? Are these objectives irreconcilable?
A deep sense of urgency has sparked a new wave of climate activism demanding much more be done quickly. But how can big change happen fast? Are the current theories of change up to the job? And what needs to be done differently? Is there time for fundamental system change, or are the current structures of power simply not up to the job?
