Podcasts about disaster solutions

Shane and Fiona talk to Bill McKenzie, public housing resident and HAAG member, talking about his citizen science work at Layfield Court, one of the older persons high rises in Melbourne, and about the issues of heatwaves in high rises, Homes Victoria's communications about the demolitions, and the roll out of the air conditioning program.Corrections: The undercounting of heatwave deaths was between 2006-2017, not 2006-2009. More information can be found via the ANU Climate Energy and Disaster Solutions. The airconditioners supplied by Vic Govt were 2.9KvA not 3.9KVA 

Acknowledgement of Country//Headlines// Vikki John on Tuesday Hometime//Jan Bartlett from Tuesday Hometime, spoke with longtime activist Vikki John with updates from Bougainville. Including, the Class Action against Rio Tinto (and subsidiary: Bougainville Copper Ltd.), as well as the 'Panguna Mine Legacy Impact Assessment' by Melbourne's Human Rights Law Centre. This November marks 5 years since Bougainvilleans cast their ballots in a non-binding referendum vote on independence. The referendum was a key part of the 2001 Peace Agreement that ended the war between Papua New Guinea and the Bougainville Revolutionary Army, which killed up to 20 000 people or 8-10% of the population, and in which Australia played a negative role supporting PNG. Tune into Tuesday Hometime every Tuesday from 4-6pm on 3CR,and listen back to past episodes of the program here.// Professor Mark Howden and Emma Bacon// Last Thursday 31 October, CSIRO and the Bureau of Meterology released the State of the Climate 2024 report, which shows Australians are already living through the severe consequences of climate change and pollution caused by fossil fuel emissions, including a rise in extreme fire seasons, extreme heat events, intense heavy rainfall and sea level rise. To discuss the report's findings and contextualise them within Australia's climate change mitigation and adaptation obligations both at the domestic level and internationally, we were joined by Professor Mark Howden, Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions at The Australian National University, and Emma Bacon, Executive Director and Founder of Sweltering Cities.// Leon Wiegard, ASU Assistant Branch Secretary// Leon Wiegard, Assistant Branch Secretary of the Australian Services Union, joined us to discuss how employers are attempting to make it lawful for community and disability support workers to be at work for up to 28 hours without overtime pay, and seeks to classify sleepovers at as ‘breaks' between shifts, rather than as part of a continuous shift with the ordinary hours - a move the Australian Services Union has condemned as reckless, arrogant and unjust.// Dario Mujkic, UWU Executive Director// Dario Mujkic, Executive Director of the United Workers' Union, joins us to unpack Woolworths' controversial Coaching and Productivity Framework, currently the subject of complaint to the Fair Work Commission. The Framework, introduced in late 2023, sits within a broader field of workforce management strategies employed in warehousing to drive up worker productivity rates and increase companies' profit margins, initiatives which come at a significant cost to workers' health, safety and wellbeing.// Event: Murnong Gathering This Saturday 9 Nov 11am - 4pmCome along for a beautiful afternoon along the Merri Creek in Coburg for a celebration of Wurundjeri culture.With performances from the Djirri Djirri and Allara.Please BYO picnic to share with friends and family. Care for Country and please take your rubbish home with you.// 

The realities of climate change were spelt out with distinct clarity at the Tuesday, August 6, forum, both in person and online, organised by the Australian National University through its Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions. The keynote speaker was the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services, Stephen Jones. Mr Jones said his government, the Australian Labor Government, is not "putting its head in the proverbial bucket of sand" regarding climate change. He said; "It's real, it's here, it's now, it's happening, it's not a future event and it's consequential".

Professor Mark Howden, Director of the ANU Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions and Vice Chair of Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Dr Linden Ashcroft, lecturer, climate scientist and science communicator in the School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Melbourne, join hosts Jackie Peel, Bek Markey-Towler and Cathy Oke, in the second episode of Season 4 of Climate Talks to talk about bringing climate science back to the annual climate conferences.     The clip at the beginning of the episode is from IPCC Chair Jim Skea at the opening of the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial in March 2024.   You can hear the clip in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7eDJ_0CpZU  Climate Talks is produced by Melbourne Climate Futures and Melbourne Centre for Cities at the University of Melbourne.

Professor Mark Howden (pictured), the director of the Australian National University's Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions, is optimistic and pessimistic. Professor Howden saw last year's COP28 process as completely ambiguous. Although the conference produced some heartening eventualities for the world, there was, in his words, "Not a huge amount of good news". Listen to this episode and you can hear where it is Professor Howden believes the world is headed in 2024. Professor Howden said many at COP28 referred to this as the "critical decade", but he argued we are in fact in the "critical year". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

COP28, the latest instalment of The UN's annual climate forum, is in the history books, and it'll be remembered for it's controversies, mostly surrounding the decision to stage it in the United Arab Emirates, a nation built on the sale of fossil fuel and then there was the COP28 president Sultan Al Jaber, who is the CEO of an oil company. But now the talkfest has finished, we can take a look at the results and try to figure out if the world got any closer to preventing it's own destruction. To help us do that is Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions at The Australian National University, Professor Mark HowdenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Water security is one of the most contested issues facing urban and regional communities across Australia. For growing inland cities like Canberra, conventional assumptions and approaches to water supply, catchment management, and urban planning must be reimagined in the context of climate change. This special event hosted in partnership with the Planning Institute of Australia examines the increasingly complex debates surrounding water security and asks whether and how inland cities can ever achieve true urban resilience. This event is co-hosted with the Planning Institute of Australia.

On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Barbara Norman and Mark Howden join us to discuss the urgent need for more comprehensive climate change adaptation measures in Australia.In recent years, climate disasters in Australia - from the Black Summer of 2019-20 to the floods across the east coast in recent weeks - have been dramatic in terms of their intensity, severity, and levels of destruction they've created. So, how exposed is Australia to the interconnected, cascading risks that are expected to worsen as a result of climate change? And what are all levels of government doing, or not doing, to help communities adapt? Professor Barbara Norman, Foundation Chair of Urban and Regional Planning and Director of Canberra Urban and Regional Futures at the University of Canberra, and Professor Mark Howden, joint 2007 Nobel Prize recipient for his work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, join us on this episode of Policy Forum Pod to discuss climate adaptation in Australia.Barbara Norman is the Foundation Chair of Urban and Regional Planning and Director of Canberra Urban and Regional Futures at the University of Canberra, Chair of the ACT Climate Change Council, and a Visiting Fellow at The Australian National University.Mark Howden is Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions at The Australian National University.Sharon Bessell is Professor of Public Policy and Director of both the Children's Policy Centre and the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre at ANU Crawford School of Public Policy.Arnagretta Hunter is the Human Futures Fellow at ANU College of Health and Medicine, a cardiologist, physician, and a Senior Clinical Lecturer at ANU Medical School.Find full show notes at policyforum.net.

UN scientists on Monday delivered a dire warning about the impact of climate change on people and planet. The report launched by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows how climate change is affecting every continent. Although it is a global issue, its “negative impacts fall particularly strongly on disadvantaged and poor people across the globe, who have the least ability to adapt”. The comment is from Professor Mark Howden, Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions, at the Australian National University, one of the authors of the report, and Working Group Vice-Chair.  Professor Howden spoke to Julia Dean from the UN Country Team in Australia, explaining to her how nature can play a part in the solution, and what other actions are needed.

Can we reach net zero sooner?How much warming are we likely to experience?Useful links:Learn more about Mark's work at ANURead the IPCC 6th Assessment ReportRead more about Australia's fossil fuel expansion plansRead Australia's Long-Term Emissions Reduction PlanSupport the show (https://www.patron.com/lifeonplanetapodcast)

The next two and a bit weeks of the climate summit in Glasgow could decide whether the world is still liveable at the end of the century. The whole point of COP26 is to get world leaders to agree to cut their emissions to a point that will limit warming to less than 2 degrees. So are we currently on track for that? And days out from the start of the conference, what should we realistically expect it to achieve? Today on The Signal, how the next two weeks in Glasgow are likely to play out.

Scientists say that 2021 is our last chance to stop the effects of climate change from fundamentally disrupting the weather patterns we've relied on for millennia. After a year's delay due to COVID, the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference - also known as COP26 - is about to begin in Glasgow, providing a crucial opportunity for more than 100 world leaders to come together and chart our future on this planet. But what do the climate scientists themselves think of this pivotal moment? This week, Cosmos journalist Lauren Fuge, speaks to five Australian climate scientists – one each day - to give you an insider's guide into what's at stake at COP26, what to look out for, and what their hopes and fears are.Today, we talk to Professor Mark Howden, a Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions at The Australian National University. He is also an Honorary Professor at Melbourne University, a Vice Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and is the Chair of the ACT Climate Change Council.

It's an experience no Australian wants to relive, but bushfire seasons like that of 2019/2020 are likely to increase in frequency due to climate change. On this Policy Forum Pod, defence expert Brendan Sargeant, emergency law scholar Michael Eburn, forestry academic Peter Kanowski, and health professional Arnagretta Hunter discuss the bushfire royal commission and how policymakers should be preparing to manage more severe bushfires. The 2019/2020 bushfire season was a traumatic experience for so many Australians, but are the country's policymakers learning the right lessons from the Black Summer? Are the recommendations of the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements being taken seriously? And, with Australia facing the prospect of increasingly severe weather patterns due to climate change, how can governments, emergency services, and citizens work together to protect their communities? On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Professor Brendan Sargeant, Honorary Associate Professor Michael Eburn, and Professor Peter Kanowski join Dr Arnagretta Hunter to discuss what policymakers and citizens should learn from Australia's Black Summer.
