Her passion and commitment to saving the planet was once a unique voice while today Blair is one voice of millions around the globe fighting for climate justice.It isn't easy to problem-solve solutions around climate change.  There are big equity issues involved.  Blair walks us through some of the major changes in how the world looks at the environment, how we solve the global warming of our planet, and she discusses the need to adopt a concept called “Climate Risk Finance.”  And, don't miss her amazing story about how Greenpeace was only a few days away from acquiring a nuclear weapon from Russia!

Blair Palese has been an environmental campaigner and writer for almost 30 years, working at the heart of some of the world's biggest and most impactful campaigns for climate action. She started her career – “bottom of rung” – at Greenpeace in the United States, but quickly became the head of communications globally for the organization. In 2009, she started the Australian arm of the incredibly successful 350.org movement, which has helped divest trillions of dollars from fossil fuels. Seeing the power of divestment campaigns, Blair is now focused on helping investors to navigate the risks and opportunities as global economies transition away from fossil fuels. In this episode, Blair shares her insights after almost three decades on the front lines of climate action and why right now she is very optimistic. She also shares her tips for staying sane and keeping up the fight for a safe climate. Useful links and resources we reference in the episode:-       350.org-       Exxon Valdez changed the oil industry forever—but new threats emerge-       Climate and Capital MediaArchive news clips courtesy of: New York Times, CNN and BBC. Archive campaign audio clips courtesy of: 350.org

Given the urgency of climate action we are looking at the roadblocks which are stopping us going full steam ahead.Senator Lee Rhiannon sees corruption from the fossil fuel industry sapping the vitality of our political process. Without their corrupting influence would our government be capable of delivering the rapid change we need?"If our politicians are serious about climate change, then they need to stop taking money from and giving money to the big polluters."We talk to Blair Palese about  350.org's  Pollution Free Politics Campaign.Miriam Lyons and Nicky Ison are the authors of The Homegrown Power Plan.They drill down into policy depths where most of us would fear to go. They come up with some golden ideas to end energy poverty. They make it easy for us to see how to remove the roadblocks, ensuring new renewables aren’t held back by the legacy of a bygone era. Further Reading:If Malcolm Turnbull or freshly appointed Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg stood on Queensland’s coast and saw a coal-fired power station float past, they’d notice, right? If more than half a million new cars drove past, they’d surely raise an eyebrow. Or would they? Each day, more than a million tonnes of Australian coal sails up that coast, past the Great Barrier Reef, to power stations or steel mills elsewhere, quietly fuelling climate change and bleaching the reef.https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/opinion/topic/2016/07/23/truth-about-australias-coal-industry-and-climate-policy/14691960003525https://350.org.au/campaigns/pollution-free-politics-2/http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2016/05/23/4465448.htm
