When Covid-19 sent the world into lockdown in March, global carbon emissions plummeted - an almost 10 per cent fall in the first half of the year. But as we start thinking of a world beyond the virus, can we expect things to bounce back to where they were, or worse, will emissions rise even higher as people and industries rush to make up for lost time? Or can we capitalise on the global upheaval for some good? With our climate future at a crossroads, we ask if it's possible to use one crisis to help overcome a much bigger one.Featuring:Simon Holmes a Court, Senior Advisor to the Climate and Energy College at Melbourne University.Brynn O'Brien, Executive Director of the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Nick Parry from the Australian-German Climate & Energy College at The University of Melbourne discusses how and why the European Union has been transitioning far more easily than Australia to renewable energy and the reality of a low carbon emissions future. He also shares how this disparity in climate action has been affecting EU-Australia relations, diplomatically and economically. Broadcast February 25 2020.

Natural historian, ecologist, and environmental photographer Alison Pouliot came in to talk about the fascinating fungi kingdom, how fungi are our phylogenetic older siblings, and her extraordinary life travelling the globe to capture and study all kinds of fungi. Alison believes we need to care about the conservation of fungi as much as any other living organism. Nick Parry, from the Australian-German Climate & Energy College at The University of Melbourne discusses how and why European nations have been transitioning more easily than Australia to renewable energy and the idea of a low carbon emissions future. He also shares how this affects EU-Australia relations, diplomatically and economically. Plus the Guardian Australia's Luke Henriques-Gomes returned to discuss what we've gleaned so far from recent Disability Royal Commission hearings, and gave us an update on robodebt, and federal welfare policy.

A train trip to Melbourne to hear Dr Martin Wainstein speak at the Australian-German Climate and Energy College became an enlightening session in a webinar, unsettling comment from Professor Ross Garnaut, a news story that swept the world about the dire situation we face according to more than 11 000 scientists, made fora difficult day.Topping that off was the personal dilemma I face about visiting my family in Queensland for Christmas, and although I'm enjoying it, my company on the train was the book by University of Melbourne anthropologist, Hans Baer, entitled: "Airplanes, the Environment, and the Human Condition".Hans, who describes himself as an "eco-socialist" questions society's use of airplanes and discusses the impact they and associated infrastructure has on worsening the climate crisis.

Beyond Zero speaks to Dylan McConnell, energy analyst at the Australian-German Climate and Energy College, University of Melbourne about increasing renewables on the electricity market, uncertainty for wind and solar farms; and marginal loss factors.

The Australian-German Energy College at the University of Melbourne has regular lectures in a relatively small space at its Grattan Street offices and the latest was packed with many people forced to stand.Holding centre stage as he talked about the "Sensitivity of historical climate simulations to uncertain aerosol forcing" was University of Reading climate scientist, Professor Ed Hawkins.Among those in the crowd was Professor David Karoly; a senior advisor from the college, Simon Holmes á Court; a well known and respected climate activist who was the co-author of Climate Code Red, David Spratt, who has written reports for Breakthrough; and the founder of "Music for a Warming World", Simon Kerr.Professor Hawkins is responsible for many things in the climate world, among them the "Show your Stripes" - a simple graphic illustration of how the world is warming.

Dr Peter Kristoff described the recent presentation at the Australian-German Climate and Energy College by Ellycia Harrould-Kolieb as among the most important given at the college.Ellycia, a PhD candidate a young women with an already impressive biography, discussed "Governing ocean acidification: Framing an emergent issue across existing multilateral environmental aqreements".

Annabelle Workman (pictured) is a PhD student from the Australian-German Climate and Energy College at the University of Melbourne.She has two daughters, who are just six and two-and-a-half years old, and her understanding of climate issues has strengthened her determination to work even harder to do all she can to make the world a better place.Annabelle has explored the role of health co-benefits in the development of climate change mitigation policies in Australia, the European Union, China and America.The discussion with Annabelle followed a public lecture at the college by Dr Adam Bumpus who discussed "Energy entrepreneurial ecosystems: challenges to clean energy entrepreneurship".

Associate professor Paul Burke from the Australian National University sat in his Canberra office and talked with an audience of about 30 people at the University of Melbourne's Australian-German Climate and Energy College.Professor Burke and his counterparts have been researching the use of residential solar-voltaic systems throughout Australia and have uncovered some interesting facts and international comparisons.

It was an article on The Conversation ("Australia's major parties' climate policies side-by-side") by Dr Kate Dooley (pictured) that prompted 'Climate Conversations" to contact her for an interview.She said "yes" without hesitation and an interesting conversation ensued.Kate is attached to the University of Melbourne's Australian-German Climate and Energy College.

Guests: Tom King, OAM; Simon Holmes à Court. When Al Gore's “An Inconvenient Truth” was released 13 years ago, it brought the issue of climate change to the fore of people's minds around the world. It might surprise you then, that the effects of greenhouse gasses have been known since 1896. However, despite the huge progress made over the last decade or more, the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report released in 2018 showed that at the current rate, warming will reach 1.5 degrees by 2052. Avoiding this will require the largest globally-synchronised effort the world has ever seen. This week's guests on The Rules of Investing are Tom King OAM, and Simon Holmes á Court. Tom is the co-founder of Nanuk Asset Management, which is focused on investing in industries that contribute to improving global sustainability and efficiency. Simon is an energy transition specialist who founded Australia's first community owned wind farm and is a senior adviser to the Climate and Energy College at the University of Melbourne. In the latest podcast, we debunk some common myths about the role of solar and wind in the energy grid, discuss the investment case for sustainability, and why some people still deny the science of climate change.

Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison was given space in Tuesday's Melbourne Age to give his view about why it was not necessary to put a wrecking ball through the economy to combat climate change.Interestingly his view was challenged, or examined by the ABCs Media Watch, which pointed out that a paper on which Mr Morrison had depended to make his point was not peer reviewed and a second opinion had not been sought.The report, a four-page document, on which Mr Morrison relied was from BAE Economics and carried the name of Dr Brian Fisher and was entitled "Economic consequences of some alternative Australian climate policies". Interestingly, just before this happened the Climate and Energy College from the University of Melbourne, staged a webinar featuring a fellow from the Melbourne Law School and an associate of the Australia-German Climate and Energy College, Tim Baxter, entitled "In a Canter? Demystifying Australia's Emissions Budget for Paris".

A packed house at the University of Melbourne's Carrillo Gantner Theatre greeted former South Australian premier,Jay Weatherill, as he gave his first public address since losing his leadership of the SA Government. He was introduced by journalist and, obviously, a Weatherill enthusiast, Adam Morton.The event was hosted by the Australia-German Climate and Energy College; the Australian Wind Alliance, and The Energy Transition Hub, and of course the University of Melbourne.

Arianne and Kate are with Dylan McConnell, an energy analyst from the Australian-German Climate and Energy College. On this episode, they talk about where we get our electricity from, the transition to clean energy in Australia, and a fact check on electricity prices.

The latest version of the NEG is raising fears that while it might continue to be useless, at least for cutting emissions, it may not be benign. Dylan McConnell from the Climate and Energy College shares his concerns.

But the accelerating impacts of climate change will drive increasingly severe humanitarian crises, political instability and conflict, posing large negative consequences to human society which may never be undone. The Asia–Pacific region is considered to be “Disaster Alley” where some of the worst impacts will be experienced. Australia’s political, bureaucratic and corporate leaders are abrogating their fiduciary responsibilities and are ill-prepared for the real risks of climate change. In this striking new Breakthrough report we look at climate change and conflict issues through the lens of sensible risk-management to draw new conclusions about the challenge we now face.DOWNLOAD reportbreakthroughonline.org.au/disasteralleyGUARDIANhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jun/21/australia-warned-it-has-radically-underestimated-climate-change-security-threatSOCIAL MEDIAhttps://twitter.com/djspratt/status/877319859540901889https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154494525095741EXTRACT “Climate change an accelerant to instability in unexpected ways”http://www.climatecodered.org/2017/06/climate-change-accelerant-to.html(more…) 19 Jun 2017|Categories: Community Show
