Climate change doesn't impact countries equally, often it is the countries that have contributed the least to the climate crisis that are the most vulnerable to it. In this episode, we focus on one of the main topics on the COP27 Climate Summit agenda- loss and damage. In this special edition of Think: Sustainability, you will also hear from a campaigner attending COP27 about a separate campaign led by Vanuatu advocating for an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on human rights and climate change   Featuring:  Vishal Prasad, Campaigner, Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change PISFCC Professor James Goodman, a Professor in Social and Political Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney Dr Melanie Pill, a research fellow at the Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions at the Australian National University Host: Marlene Even Music: Epidemic Sound

Many of us want to see the Great Barrier Reef before it's too late. There's something about the experience of seeing its vast coral shelves in real life that makes it more real to us. And once we've experienced it, we might be more likely to care about it. In this episode of Think: Sustainability, we take a look at how tourism can create advocates, or sometimes citizen scientists, out of tourists. Tourism operators and scientists are working together to achieve common goals, and we see just what makes that relationship successful.

The State of the Environment 2021 report paints a grim picture of Australia's biodiversity, including an increase in the number of listed threatened species. Experts have continuously pointed to legislation as a major hurdle to improving conservation. So, with the Australian government recently pledging to reform environmental legislation- could we close the legal loopholes and save our threatened species? In this special edition of Think: Sustainability a panel of experts tells us about the law reforms needed to conserve and protect threatened species. Featuring: Dr Ian Cresswell, Co-chair of the 2021 State of the Environment Report Rachel Walmsley, Head of Policy and Law Reform, Environmental Defenders Office Dr Leigh Martin, Ecologist and Environmental Sciences Program Director at the University of Technology Sydney.

Its Day 24 of my #100DaysChallenge. If you are new to this challenge check out --> this link. Data suggests that there are about 120million #cigarette #smokers in India. If that is true, it is worthwhile to consider sustainable practices around this habit of smoking, because once someone chooses to smoke, they are this industry's customers for life! Pack of cigarettes , its butts and tobacco production practices all have been scrutinized across media every year for reasons ranging from health to environment. But in my view, the process of lighting a cigarette has conveniently been ignored.. don't you think so? Cheap , single use plastic lighters have been making its way into the landfills for quite sometime now, and it is time we start thinking about it from the lens of #environment #sustainability So share this episode with a smoker friend / colleague of yours and help me spark that thought!
