Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Bowen

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordFebruary 16th 2026B E L E M   T O   S A N T A   M A R T AAt last! The first International Conference focused on the Transition Away from fossil fuel dependence.https://transitionawayconference.com/It will be held at the end of April 2026, in the Colombian Coal Port of Santa Marta.The aim is to create actionable guidelines. It will not replace the UN process but will contribute to the Belem roadmap announced by the COP 30th president in Brazil. It  will be the first International conference where actual implementation will be worked on.Should our First Nations Leaders and our Climate Change Minister attend this meeting? So far Chris Bowen is not expected to attend.Let him know what you think:Contact Details for Chris Bowen:Email: chris.bowen.mp@aph.gov.auPhone: (02) 9604 0710 GuestsKumi Naidoo - President of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation TreatyAt the Santa Marta Conference the many ways we can achieve FF phase out will be explored. A TREATY is one.Oil rich states like East Timor and Colombia have signed but Australia has not.Australia has signed the Belem Declaration and  Kumi Naidoo wishes our  Climate Minister  the Honorable Chris Bowen good luck as the President of Negotiations for the next COP . Chris Bowen's role will be to advance the interests of the Pacific. Australia will have “exclusive authority in relation to the negotiations”, to shape  global decision making in support of the multilateral system and the  global trade and investment in clean energy industries. The results of this conference will feed into an October conference in the Pacific which will lead to COP31 at the end of the year.Kumi Naidoo also argues for climate action being action for peace. As Colombia's Environment Minister Irene Velez Torres said since the US attack on oil rich Venezuela "We are more sovereign if we are less dependent on exports that are carbon intensive"This is a volatile time to be getting real about fossil fuel phase out, but Kumi Naidoo uses  entertaining metaphors to dramatise our urgent need to "Turn off the tap" driving climate chaos. Here is Kumi Naidoo's ABC interview about his new book "What we owe the water."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdYwCSC_RUU Bastiaan Hassing - Programme Lead for the Netherlands at the Santa Marta Summit in ColombiaHe discusses HOW the countries who have already demonstrated a commitment to transition will work on realistic steps. Phasing out subsidies is one way.At COP30 in Belem The Climate Policy Minister of the Netherlands, Sophie Hermans, announced that they would co host with Colombia the First International conference on the phase out of fossil fuels. This is big news. It is outside the UN process but will feed into the next COP in Turkiye.The Netherlands  already leads a coalition of 13+countries committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Australia is not yet a member. We spend $14.5billion p/a which  greatly delays the transition to cleaner energy by lowering production costs and distorting the energy market. Gariduyla - Comment at the launch of a film about The Adani/Bravus coal mine and the Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodians who are protecting the waters of the Greatb Artesian Basin beneath it.A new documentary titled "Nagana Yarrbayn – The Water Protectors" focuses on the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) Cultural Custodians and their ongoing fight to protect their ancestral waters from Adani's Carmichael mine. Here are details about the film and its upcoming tour:About the Film: The documentary, produced by Kim Paul Nguyen in collaboration with W&J Cultural Custodians, follows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba's efforts to protect his ancestral lands and the sacred Doongmabulla Springs.

In the first EMQs of 2026 Ed Balls and George Osborne answer the most important question for any politician: what was your snakiest move? The pair share each of their proudest (and least proud) moments of cunning, as well as some hard-won advice on when being snakey can pay off. They then turn to a question missed from our last ‘What If' episode from Australian cabinet member Chris Bowen, who wonders what would happen if John Smith had lived. What would have become of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and, most importantly, Ed?George's old Downing Street colleague Craig Oliver also asks a question concerning the gap between establishment and public opinion on AI which allows George to flex his new OpenAI knowledge. Finally, they answer the question on everyone's minds: what was their favourite song from the Eras Tour?
