Mark Bachelder (pictured) orchestrates the community calls for the Foundation for Safe Climate from his home in California, reaching out to the world. I met Mark by chance and in an illustration of how small the world is, he and a recent guest on this podcast, Osprey Orielle Lake, know each other well. Mark is interested in climate matters and sees much of the solution to the present dilemma to be found through conversation and during our chat, I alerted him to the six-week series being organized by the Melbourne-based Conversation at the Crossroads - "Ethics in Turbulent Times: How to Bring Society to Higher Ground".
Our guests in The Sustainable Hour no. 499 are former corporate lawyer Robert Hinkley and filmmaker Michael Shaw. We also play two excerpts of talks by professor and author Jem Bendell.
AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Belgian concerns over Russia election interference; the Vietnam scandal aftermath; and the former UN rights chief on climate and human rights.
Dr Sally Gillespie is an author, lecturer, workshop facilitator, and trainer for Psychology for a Safe Climate. We first spoke with Sally in season 2, episode 27 about her book Climate Crisis and Consciousness: Re-imagining Our World and Ourselves and how to deal with eco-anxiety. Since speaking with Sally in 2021, the changing climate continues to impact our communities and our mental health. Many communities have endured bushfires, floods, storms, coastal erosions and heatwaves, yet important community resilience-building actions are still lacking in many areas.Sally's recent article in Explorations in Climate Psychology Journal explores the significant mental health impacts associated with the escalating climate disasters in Australia - often overlooked when discussing climate change. So, in this episode, we unpack her article in more detail as Sally highlights the need for trauma-informed care and community-based practices to address this worsening crisis.In the face of such uncertainty, holistic, resilience-building approaches, that integrate traditional Indigenous knowledge with modern psychological insights are now more important than ever, when it comes to supporting individual and community health.In this episode, we discuss:Sally's recent work and involvement in the Climate Psychology movementThe generational shift occurring within the climate psychology spaceThe high percentage of Australians impacted by climate disastersMental health impacts for disaster survivorsThe huge burdens on local agencies providing mental health support servicesSystemic causes that have driven the climate and environmental crisesA need to honour Indigenous knowledge for a truly inclusive community approachLooking to grassroots community movements to help foster a sense of empowermentCreating safe spaces for sharing stories and trauma, including the importance of ceremonyDealing with eco grief, doomerism and burnoutUtilising grounded narratives when initiating climate conversationsIf this story has raised concerns for you or someone you know, you can contact Lifeline at 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue at 1300 22 4636 in Australia or Lifeline at 0800 LIFELINE (0800 54 33 54) or free text HELP (4357) in New Zealand.To view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.

Much of the climate progress we've secured in the last few years has been spurred by the urgent calls to action from young people who are already living with the consequences of decisions that were made by older generations. For this episode, we spoke with one person who has been at the forefront of youth climate organizing and activism. Alexia Leclercq is the winner of WWF's 2022 Conservation Leadership Award, which is given out annually to recognize exceptional young leaders in the environmental space. Alexia is a grassroots organizer, educator, scholar, and artist who recently received a graduate degree from Harvard University. They co-founded the Colorado River Conservancy in 2020 to protect the stretch of that river that runs along their hometown of East Austin, Texas. And they co-lead Start:Empowerment, a non-profit that aims to bolster climate justice education. In this episode Alexia talks about what motivated them to become involved in the climate movement (1:48), the importance of organizing as a tool to build “people power” (9:20), and their advice for the next generation of climate leaders (17:45).

Guest: Dr Dyann Ross, Senior Lecturer, Social Work, Program Coordinator for Master of Social Work (Qualifying) and Higher Degrees by Research, University of the Sunshine Coast (USC), Australia Introduction to this episode The experience of the use of love and a love ethic within eco-social work practice has already been introduced by a previous guest in this series (Dr.Naomi Godden) and because these topics have been garnering considerable interest within the eco-social turn over the last few years I wanted to seek out further perspectives on the use of love by other leading eco-social work thinkers. My guest on this episode of the series, Dr. Dyann Ross, is a social work academic, researcher and author who has continued to focus on and help elaborate the place of love in social work practice over the last twenty years or so. In fact, she goes so far as to say that exploring the ethic of love has been her life journey and work. As with wider eco-social work (ESW) approaches, the use of love in social work practice has been slow to appear on the mainstream social work radar but is now finding a greater audience of practitioners willing to explore and adopt its precepts. And Dr Ross's work has made an important contribution towards that adoption. In our discussion Dr Ross talks about her abiding interests in the importance of love and a love ethic for social work practice, and how a growing ethos of lovelessness for other people, non-human animals and Nature is a strong underlying causation of injustices and lack of ecological sustainability for the planet as a whole. The social work profession has an important contribution to make in helping right some of these wrongs, and we discuss the particular benefits the elements of a love ethic (ethics of love, non-violence and ecological justice) can bring to this important work.

Guest: Professor Margaret Alston, AM, OAM, School of Humanities, Creative Industries and Social Science, University of Newcastle, New South Wales and Emerita Professor, Monash University. Introduction to this episode: Professor Margaret Alston has developed a longstanding research and teaching interest around the social work role in relation to natural disasters, and particularly regarding the differential gendered experience of disaster impacts amongst women, men and children. She has taught and conducted research within a number of premier Australian universities over the years on topics such as the links between rural life and gender, and has grounded that work in action research based upon first hand observation of some of the most vulnerable communities in the world. Professor Alston has applied her research insights to the benefit of a wide spectrum of institutions and individuals: from acting as gender expert consultant to international agencies, such as the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation, and the Commission for the Status of Women, to providing doctoral research supervision to a new generation of social workers, helping equip them with the tools to focus on gender inequities within social research. In this episode, we talk about Professor Alston's abiding interest in the gendered experience of environmental impacts, how such physical environment influences and eco-social work approaches (ESW) are directly relevant to mainstream social work practice, and how her research and social work training insights apply with particular relevance to our own, Asia-Pacific region of the world. General introduction - 0.50 Guest self-introduction - 3.35 What is the relevance of an ESW approach in 2022? - 12.05 How might increased gendered sensitivity within ESW approaches help tackle some key sustainability challenges? -19.46 Why should the social work profession concern itself with differential gendered factors within ESW approaches? - 27.45 What could/should the short to mid-term future hold for greater levels of differential gendered experience sensitivity as a practice frame? - 31.13 Guest take home message/summary - 37.43 Closing acknowledgement - 41.13 RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE DISCUSSION A listing of any books, publications or digital media information sources relevant to eco-social work and mentioned during discussion.

Dr Sally Gillespie is a writer, workshop facilitator, lecturer and public speaker with a background in depth psychology and ecopsychology. Sally's recently published book Climate Crisis and Consciousness: Reimagining Our World and Ourselves, explores the psychological experience of engaging with climate change and related ecological concerns. There is a growing awareness of the climate emergency within our community and more people are acknowledging that the next ten years must bring about radical changes to avoid potentially catastrophic tipping points.This reality is confronting and can involve a wide range of emotions. Experiences of ecological anxiety and climate grief are burgeoning and coping with these feelings in the face of climate change is extremely important. The fight against climate change is not a sprint, it's a marathon - one that we will be dealing with for the rest of our lives and here Sally discusses strategies for staying engaged with climate change without burning out or becoming overwhelmed or depressed.Hot on the heels of the latest IPCC report this is a timely and extremely important conversation.In this episode we discuss:• Sally's background in Jungian psychotherapy and her transition to climate psychology • Why climate change is still such a taboo subject and how we can start fostering important conversations• The Importance of peer education and use of language when dealing with climate deniers or down-players• Strategies for tackling climate grief, feelings of helplessness and eco-anxiety• Cultivating grounded hope and building psychological resilience in the face of climate uncertainty• Nature deficit disorder and the importance of nature exposure and nature-based education for children• The importance of indigenous knowledge and the need for indigenous-led climate action• The work of Psychology for a Safe ClimateFor further resources on climate psychology research and support visit the Psychology for a Safe Climate or the Climate Psychology Alliance websites.If this story has raised concerns for you or someone you know, you can contact Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 in Australia or Lifeline Aotearoa on 0800 LIFELINE (0800 54 33 54) or free text HELP (4357) in New Zealand.To view all the links to the websites and documents, make sure you visit the show notes on our website.

GUEST: Beni McKenzie, social worker in practice in the Gold Coast region of Queensland. Beni is Vice-President of the AASW (South) Qld Branch and a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) National Advisory Panel for Climate Action. Over a number of years, Beni has been active in finding ways to embed eco-social work practice principles into his mainstream work and opportunities to spread the word on eco-social approaches to his colleagues and other social workers at local, regional, and national levels. INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE An upsurge in green or eco-social work theorising can be traced back as far as the mid to late 1990s but its incorporation into mainstream practice in Australia has been a much more recent phenomenon. Academic research and social work training institution interest in eco-social work approaches started to pick up here around the mid-2000s and was given increased impetus by World Social Work Day events in 2017 themed on ‘Promoting Community and Environmental Sustainability' one of the sustainable development (SD) pillars of the international, Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development initiative, launched in 2012. Stimulated by the increased interest in eco-social work ideas occurring at that time, a number of branches of the AASW, the peak social work organisation in Australia, started to meet, to share eco-social work ideas and practice and to network this information with colleagues. INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS –approximate time elapsed location in minutes. Guest self-introduction – 2.38 Guest perception of ESW practice in 2021 – 5.05 How can ESW help tackle climate change and other SD challenges? – 7.21 Why should the SW mainstream be involved with physical environmental challenges? – 11.47 Opportunities for ESW practice in the short to medium term future. – 15.20 Meso and macro level ESW advocacy focussed on climate change and public health – 18.56 Guest closing comments - including reflection on the lack of a systems approach to current environmental budgeting in Queensland – 23.25 Close of interview – 30.43 REFERENCES AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE DISCUSSION Associate Professor Jennifer Boddy Griffith University – see various relevant research outputs Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) “is an internationally recognised think tank that shows through independent research and innovative solutions how Australia can prosper in a zero-emissions economy.” For example, see BZE's Million Jobs Plan which shows “how in just five years, renewables and low emissions projects can deliver 1.8 million new jobs in the regions and communities where these are needed most.” Professor Lena Dominelli – see various relevant research outputs The Climate and Health Alliance (CAHA) is “a coalition of health care stakeholders who work together to see the threat to human health from climate change and ecological degradation addressed through prompt policy action. The membership of CAHA includes organisations and individuals from across the health sector, with organisations representing health care professionals from medicine, nursing, public health, social work and psychology, as well as health care service providers, research and academic institutions, and health consumers.” A good example of CAHA's diverse campaigns and projects is its advocacy with the federal government to develop a National Strategy on Climate, Health and Well-being for Australia. Micro, meso and macro practice opportunities within eco-social work. For some suggestions see: Boetto (2017) AASW CPD training (2020) and Nicholson/CAHA (2020) Author Bruce Pascoe's book Dark Emu (2014) which ‘puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating, and storing — behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag.' The book has generated much public debate and some useful critique since its publication. Project Drawdown: ‘The World's Leading Resource for Climate Solutions' with a ‘mission to help the world reach “Drawdown”— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.' The educational resources on the website are well presented, engaging and solution focussed. For example, see the Climate Solutions 101 video series. Queensland state budgetary support announcements for renewable energy and low carbon technologies in 2021. Quiet time spent in nature – there is a growing understanding in Australia and internationally of the health and wellbeing benefits of spending time in the natural world or green spaces. Self-care – especially maintaining adult mental wellbeing in the face of climate and eco-anxiety and eco-grief. The NFP Psychology for a Safe Climate group based in Melbourne have a wealth of relevant resources on their portal site. A growing number of groups and organisations are also exploring the best way to support the health and wellbeing of children in the face of similar stressors – including the Australian Psychological Society and the Emerging Minds group. Systems mapping. Discussion about future social work assessment approaches which incorporate physical environmental factors is also occurring about health sector and hospital based social work roles. For example, it has been suggested that existing patient/client protocols for psychosocial assessment, intervention, education, and discharge planning for vulnerable groups could be modified to include immediate physical environmental threats such as heat waves or mental health vulnerabilities associated with longer term physical environmental impacts. Such impacts are already occurring in the aftermath of natural disaster events intensified by global heating. Social work skills could also contribute to community climate change adaptation planning strategies to better protect future human health and wellbeing as global heating impacts increase. Transformative opportunities within eco-social work approaches – for some recent discussions in the Australian context see Boetto (2018) and Bell (2019) GUEST AND CONTACT DETAILS: Guest: Beni McKenzie – E: AASW Queensland Branch aaswqld@aasw.asn.au Householders' Options to Protect the Environment (HOPE): T 07 4639 2135 E office@hopeaustralia.org.au W http://www.hopeaustralia.org.au/ F https://www.facebook.com/Householders.Options.to.Protect.the.Environment/ PRODUCTION: Produced for HOPE by Andrew Nicholson.

Listening tip If you think an hour-long podcast is too long for you, we recommend you think about it diffently. The overall idea with us doing these long podcasts (we've done 400 of them by now, and they are all one hour long) is that our listeners listen to them for instance when they are in transport – sitting in a car or train – and press the pause button in the podcast player when they reach their destination. And then press play and listen onwards next time they are back in transport. In other words, cut it up in smaller bits suitable to you. You, not we, decide where to make the breaks yourself.

Dr Bronwyn Gresham (pictured) was just one of the many impressive speakers at the recent Mindful Futures Network Conference at Melbourne's Brunswick Town Hall.About 100 people listened as Dr Gresham talked about the psychological impact of the quickly unfolding climate crisis, the need for compassion, mindfulness and self-care.Dr Gresham has a private practice, "Compassionate Nature" and volunteers with Psychology for a Safe Climate.The topic for her address to the recent conference was "Compassion and Climate: building future resilience".Bronwyn used several resources in preparing her address, among them: Self-compassion through supportive touch; the question about What is self-compassion?; a publication from Psychology for a Safe Climate - "Facing the Heat: stories of climate change conversations"; and an article about climate change from the Australian Psychology Society.And for those who was would rather read than listen, here is the text to Bronwyn's address from the recent mindful conference.

Eve Kelly, like so many other people, was heavily impacted by Victoria's Black Saturday bushfires in 2009, and of particular concern for her was the wildlife.She has long been concerned about Australia's wildlife and now, beyond being a volunteer wildlife rescuer, she is the secretary of the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, which advocates for the Australian fauna in every way it can and regularly reaches out through schools and various community groups to help the broader public better understand the needs of our wildlife.Rescuing, advocating for and being the voice of our wildlife can be draining work and so Eve was delighted to hear about Psychology for Safe Climate, which, while specializing in helping people emotionally deal with the rigours of climate change, has skills applicable to the difficulties faced by Eve and others who work with wildlife.

Psychology for a Safe Climate is a tiny group of people, just eight, and the founder, Carol Ride, was generous enough to share a little about the group with Climate Conversations. Carol's group is busy promoting and staging its own regular workshops and has been increasingly asked to stage similar events at other bodies and institutions throughout Victoria stretching the group's already slim resources. Carol said he group has answered the call to interstate workshops, buty the demands to do that are such that efforts are now being made to find volunteers in other capoital cities who could underrtake work that Carol, and others in her group see as vital.
Carol Ride is the founder of Psychologists for a Safe Climate, a therapeutic support service that helps people face our difficult climate reality.
