Two film makers from TFF show us the "spear in the chest moment", when a person with a platform becomes an activist. Once you KnowEmmanuel Cappelin had such a moment when he  realised we are heading for collapse. It is a  grenade word. When it explodes in your mind you need to find out what to do, to be transformed or to remain stuck.   He visits Joanna Macey in USA and Dr Saleemul Huq in Bangladesh. These people have been bravely facing the challenges for decades. He looks at Transition Towns, Citizens' assemblies and direct Action through Extinction Rebellion. It is an intellectually provocative discussion. Emmanuel talks about preparing for the "long future". When we are reeling from local climate shocks and shortages how will we maintain democractic and civilised behaviour? What must we save on the way down? Beyond ZeroNathan Havey fil

He tells us the story of Le Chambon. In 1940 the writer Camus was sent there for his TB but while writing The Plague, he observed a conspiracy of goodness. The community was committed to saving the lives of many Jewish people and helping them escape to Switzerland. As plague force global emissions in our time are temporarily lessened by flights,cruises and industry being locked down for the COVID 19 pandemic, many are re reading The Plague. Winton discusses the novel with Vivien in terms of what strength we can draw from it as we face the truth of the climate emergency in our generation.

 The Climate Action Show22nd March 2021Edited with permission from Reset 21 Forums by Vivien Langford BELOW ZERO 2030EMERGENCY ACTION FOR NEGATIVE EMISSIONSThe dramatic shift in mainstream climate policy in support of a zero-emissions target is widely welcomed. But are we at grave risk of missing our intended outcome by attaching highly dangerous timeframes to this critical goal?The evidence is clear: any further emissions released from now will only jeopardise the ability to address the existential threat of climate change. Current emissions will have ongoing impacts, and temperatures will continue to rise even if all future emissions were prevented today. In addition for the need to address the question of immediate cooling, two actions critical for long-term climate repair include eliminating all further emissions, and large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.What are the leading tech disruptions, key innovations and economic strategies that could dramatically accelerate t

Over this past six months I have been closely watching the news - it has become clear that Australia's backing of fossil fuel exports are becoming increasingly untenable. The US has rejoined the Paris agreement, in October China vowed to reach net zero by 2060 - quickly followed by South Korea and Japan. This Asian tsunami away from coal is a huge proportion of our coal exports which accounted for over 55% in 2018.And where does this position Australia with our reliance coal and the prospect of a gas lead recovery? Tim BuckleyTim Buckley is the Director of Energy Finance Studies at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. Tim is expertly placed to foresee how Australia's energy export prospects are likely to change as our export partners move away from coal and commit to net zero energy targets. Links from interview: Biden's Executive order on Climate change  Ross GarnautProfessor Ross Garnaut has been the most important climate policy strategist in Australia over the pas

 BRUCE PASCOE; PERENNIAL SOILNovember 23rd 2020 Bruce Pascoe delivered a lecture on Indigenous farming and land management. The 'Dark Emu' author is also joined in a conversation with agricultural scientist Dr Angela Pattison. It has never been more important to be sharing Indigenous knowledge. So many solutions to the problems we face today can be found in that wisdom.It is impossible to overestimate the powerful contribution of Bruce Pascoe's work, in particular the seminal Dark Emu, which has inspired a number of projects here at the University, including the Indigenous Grasslands for Grain project.The detail and grace in Pascoe's research and writing has unlocked important conversations and reawakened knowledge. In this public lecture, Uncle Pascoe shared insights into sustainable farming and practices, with a keynote address on the idea of 'Perennial Soil'. Pascoe is also joined by Dr Angela Pattison, plant breeder and agricultural scientist from the Univ
