Podcasts about australian youth climate coalition

In the Northern Territory, communities are in the fight of their lives. The fracking industry is determined to expand operations, which have so far been exploratory, and begin to produce gas for commercial sale - as soon as this year. This poses serious threats to water security, cultural sites and climate, and has community advocates turning out to protect country and our future.  In the second part of this two-part feature on fracking, we hear young advocate Ivy Sheng in conversation with Hannah Ecken (Frack Free NT) and Dr Thomas Hooley (Climate Analytics) about the risks fracking poses to country and our climate.  This episode was produced in collaboration with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition's From Us, For Us project, and the interviews were conducted by participant Ivy Sheng. As a high school student, Ivy speaks from a challenging and underrepresented position: that of a young person inheriting a world in crisis.Image credit: Ivy, Miles and Jazmin (From Us, For Us).Earth Matters #1497 was produced by Mia Audrey on the lands of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung in Narrm (Melbourne).

Today's show is the first of two exploring fracking, one of the more controversial elements of the government's ‘gas-led' future roadmap. We hear from climate scientist and policy expert Dr Bill Hare, on why fracking poses a serious risk to our climate, and from Dr Monique Ryan, independent Member of Parliament for Kooyong and outspoken opponent of fracking. This episode was produced in collaboration with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition's From Us, For Us project, and the interviews were conducted by participant Ivy Sheng.

Below the Radar has partnered with the Or Galley to bring you recordings of the Gas Imaginary Conversations series. This is the second of two talks from The Gas Imaginary, presented by the Or Gallery. This event was recorded virtually on Dec. 5, 2020. In this panel, Rachel O’Reilly, Tania Willard and Kanahus Manuel—with moderation by Denise Ryner—discuss the ongoing challenges of asserting land rights and the protection of water from each of their respective contexts. The speakers address the role of artistic practices and visual culture in making such struggles resonate with communities, both at home and across distance. Tania Willard, Secwepemc Nation, works as an artist and curator within the shifting ideas of contemporary and traditional as it relates to cultural arts and production. She often engages bodies of knowledge and skills that are conceptually linked to her interest in intersections between Aboriginal and other cultures. Her curatorial work includes Beat Nation: Art Hip Hop and Aboriginal Culture (http://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/the_exhibitions/exhibit_beat_nation.html), a national touring exhibition first presented at Vancouver Art Gallery in 2011 as well as residencies at grunt gallery and Kamloops Art Gallery. She is currently assistant professor in Creative Studies at University of British Columbia Okanagan (Kelowna BC). She also founded and operates BUSH gallery, a conceptual space for land-based art and action led by Indigenous artists. Kanahus Manuel belongs to the Secwepemc Nation and founded the Tiny House Warrior movement as part of her ongoing work as an Indigenous water and land defender. She is also a member of the Secwepemc Women’s Warrior Society. Her family has led the struggle for rights and sovereignty in Secwepemcul’ecw (territory of the Secwepemc people) for generations. Her late father Arthur Manuel, a former Secwepemc chief and residential school survivor, was an author and global champion for Indigenous rights and title in Canada and abroad. Her late grandfather George Manuel was the second president of the National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of First Nations) and founding president of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. The Tiny House Warriors: Our Land Is Home Is A Part Of A Mission To Stop The Trans Mountain Pipeline From Crossing Unceded Secwepemc Territory In British Columbia. Ten Tiny Houses Will Be Built And Placed Strategically Along The 518 Km Trans Mountain Pipeline Route To Assert Secwepemc Law And Jurisdiction And Block Access To This Pipeline.

Anna Rose (pictured), the co-founder of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition spoke at a 2013 forum organized by the Shepparton-based Slap Tomorrow and talked then about the climate-driven conditions that would bring on the weather events such as those now being experienced in Australia's New South Wales. Professor Will Steffen from the Climate Council has also weighed in with a similar explanation about what is happening in NSW and has called on Australia's Federal Government and corporations to act now to rein in the climate crisis. Emphasising the need for climate science to be taken note of is a senior lecturer in climate science at the Australia National University, Dr Joëlle Gergis, who just today (March 24) had an article published on The Conversation. The climate crisis can bring on certain fatigue and so I urge you to find some respite by listening to "Music for a Warming World".

WOMEN'S CLIMATE LEADERSHIPWHERE DOES IT TAKE US?8TH MARCH 2021Produced by Vivien LangfordGUESTS:Victoria McKenzie-McHarg - Women's environmental Leadership WELA and Chair of the Climate Action Network Australia CANALucy Manne - CEO of 350.org AustraliaJanet Laurence - Artist and Curator of REQUIEM at the Festival of Sydney 2021Kerrie Leishman - Painter on her exhibition "The New Beauty" featuring wind turbines at Waubra VicMusic : Montaigne with the song that launched the School Strike for Climate in Sydney 2019-  "Ready to Go!"and "Mother earth" composed by Aunty Ruby Sims to launch the Beyond Zero Emissions "Million Jobs Plan" sent to us by Dominque Hes The theme of international Women's day this year is Women in leadership.Victoria McKenzie-McHarg launches the show. Her IWD hero is Julie Lyford who, with Groundswell Gloucester fended off a gas company in their valley and then won a court case to stop the Rocky Hill Coal mine going ahead. Julie is a graduate of the Women's environmental leadership course. Victoria says it's obvious that the present political, societal and corporate leadership is failing on climate action. a more collaborative, diverse and supportive form of leadership is needed. She speaks about  Nicola Rivers who with young children could not see herself as a CEO but through mentoring came to the idea of sharing a CEO position which she now has as CoCEO of Environmental Justice Australia.WELA is there to open doors for women. They have established a giving circle to fund women led projects and initiatives for our envoronment.Women's Environmental Leadership Australia | The Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia (WELA) program is designed by and for women environmentalists to support women taking environmental leadership in Australia.  sign up for our monthly e-newsletter and join us on Facebook. To celebrate IWD we talk to two artists who lead us towards a change of heart around our connection to the land and  landscape.  They are Janet Laurence and Kerrie Leishman. Janet Laurence curated REQUIEM, a week of art events in an old Reservoir near Paddington Town Hall. As we descend into the sunken cathedral she invites us to lament and reflect on the black summer bush fires. It is a place of reckoning and the audience response in Qand A was all about "what can we do?"Art helps us to see what's invisible and Janet says blindness to nature breeds indifference. In front of her installation of waters made turbid by charcoal and dead matter left by the bushfires, many speakers such as Bruce Shillingsworth, urged us to think differently about mother earth and her lifeblood rivers. In an interview later Janet told me that the Art World did not easily accept her focus on climate change. But she does not want to plunge them into a defensive reaction and the sheer tenderness, the scale and the science behind her work is opening many minds.'I want you to linger': how Janet Laurence's art compels you to save the earth | Art and design | The Guardian Kerrie Leishman says that wind turbines create a new aesthetic. This challenges our usual idea of landscape. But like Janet Laurence she does not want to put us on the defensive. Her paintings are a subtle form of climate leadership taking us along as she comes to see the turbines as gentle giants. Her exhibition called "The New Beauty" was inspired by the wind farms at Waubra in Victoria.blog - Kerrie Leishman Paintings and Illustration Lucy Manne started the fossil Fuel Watch project during COVID. They report  on such things as  the media coverage of COVID recovery funds going  towards gas projects rather than the jobs rich care economy. They also report on the national conversation around citizens' rights to protest. One example recently is when the mining lobby portrayed community groups as "vexatious" Graeme Samuels found that such legal challenges are the "foundation of our democracy". She recommended that we watch the Greenpeace film "Dirty Money" and join 350.org in their campaign to "Fund our Future not Gas".She talks about the shift in energy resulting from the Biden Administration's climate policy in the USA.Will this help us turn a distant 2050 target to a manageable 2030 target for reducing carbon emissions to zero?Her women's day hero is Milly Telford founder of SeedMob. The campaign she wants us to support is the Torres Strait Islanders' landmark human rights complaint against the Australian Government. They say the government has not adequately reduced Greenhouse gas emissions or helped them adapt to changing climate conditions. Lucy herself is a shining example of women's leadership coming up from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and now as CEO.Australia – 350.org’s Fossil Fuel Watch project

For Global Climate Change Week, we spoke with student climate activist Emily Bresnehan, a volunteer with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition who's been involved with a number of hands-on campaigns against climate change, including coming head-to-head with coal giant Adani. Find out more about the Australian Youth Climate Coalition here: https://www.aycc.org.au/

Lucy Manne (pictured), 350.org.au CEO, talks with Climate Conversations about the global body that is taking on the world's fossil fuel industries around the world. America's Bill McKibben and some university mates created 350.org and Lucy was inspired to do something about our deteriorating climate when she heard the world's foremost climate activist speak in Melbourne in 2008. Lucy's journey to the top job with 350.org in Australia really began to take shape when, as a young girl, she joined the Australian Youth Climate Coalition.

History of the lecture and in memory of Nancy Hillier In 2016, staff in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales proposed an annual lecture to commemorate the life and work of Nancy Hillier OAM, a prominent figure in the Botany Community, instigator of significant community services across many fields, and a life time supporter of education and scholarship. The inaugural lecture took place at NSW Parliament House in August 2016. Botany Bay City Council and now the new Bayside City Council agreed to host and co-fund the lecture as an ongoing annual event, in conjunction with UNSW. Development of the lecture series has involved UNSW staff, Botany Bay community members, Bayside Council staff and councilors, Botany Historical Trust, NSW government MPs, and Nancy's family. Nancy's many contributions to the development of services, to championing the interests of residents, and to protection of the environment in the Botany Bay region, are very well known. Her legacy is aptly summarized in the title of her SMH obituary as the “Relentless rebel with many causes”. Moving to Botany at 17, and faced with the inexorable development of the suburb in which she found herself, Nancy became embroiled in what became her life's work – fighting for justice for local residents, the community and the environment. From extensions to the port of Botany through to industrial contamination, there was much to confront. A natural organizer, Nancy always led from the front, which did not go unrecognized. Named 1985 Botany Council citizen of the year, she worked tirelessly in her community, often challenging industry and governments at the highest levels. She received a Medal of the Order of Australia in 2006. Nancy was also tireless in assisting academics and students, many from UNSW, in their research and teaching projects. She also co-authored academic analysis, and wrote many reports, submissions, letters and other public documents. Her own extensive archive is held by Bayside's local Library. This lecture series acknowledges Nancy's heritage, recalling her work and passion while providing an avenue for others to debate issues that resonate with Nancy's work. Over the years, the annual event will help forge scholarly and broader community relationships and commitments. The general theme of the lecture series is community participation in the achievement of social and environmental objectives. Each year, at least one presentation will be given by a young emerging community leader. This recognizes the important perspective of a younger generation, and reminds us that the necessity to ‘pass the baton' to emerging leaders and activists was amongst Nancy's greatest passions. With thanks to all the contributors above, and to others who assisted to initiate and organise this event: Bayside City Council: staff and councilors Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences UNSW: Events and Media team. Parliament House staff, and the office of MLC Cate Faehrmann Presenters Jean Hinchliffe is a 15-year-old school student and climate activist. As the Sydney group founder and lead national organiser within School Strike 4 Climate, she campaigns for legislative action to end the climate crisis. She first initiated her activist journey at the age of thirteen through volunteering with the Vote Yes campaign for marriage equality, before becoming involved with GetUp and Stop Adani. However, it was only in late 2018 that she started to focus on the climate crisis above other issues. When she isn't trying to save the world, Jean works as a professional actress. Varsha Yajman is a year 12 student at Gosford High on the Central Coast. She grew up in Sydney for the most part, and says going to school on the Coast has given her exposure to diverse perspectives on societal issues such as female rights, health, and environmental issues. Her greatest passion, climate activism, led to her involvement with the National Leadership Team for the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and the National and the core Sydney team for School Strike 4 Climate. She says this is more than just fighting for a sustainable world but rather about being part of a collective movement with capacity to empower every individual to unite and fight for a greater cause. Varsha's interests also include the mental health sector and she will contribute more time to this after finishing high school. Elly Baxter is a communications specialist with more than ten years experience running media and marketing campaigns in the arts. As a teenager she was involved in local environmental activism and has recently become active again as part of Extinction Rebellion Sydney. Tema Milstein is an associate professor of Environment & Society at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and convenor of UNSW's Master of Environmental Management program. Her research and teaching focus on the intersections of culture, discourse, and ecological relations. Tema's research spans the globe, examining ecological activism, ecotourism and endangered wildlife, ecoculture meaning systems and identity, and ecoculture jamming. Her newest work, the 40- author International Handbook of Ecocultural Identity, will be published early next year. A former US Fulbright Scholar, Tema has taught at universities in the United States, Australia, Italy, China, and New Zealand. She has worked as a newspaper and public radio journalist, and recently participated as an invited speaker at Extinction Rebellion rallies in Sydney. *Community Corner * The Commons Library - NVDA Liking the show?
