Over 50% of Australia's land and sea mass is held under indigenous land title, with many Indigenous communities providing vital ecological and climate mitigation services to the benefit of the nation. Yet the ability for First Nations communities to continue to protect country and contribute substantially to Australia's climate emergency response remains heavily restricted. What legal reform and investment is needed to properly support Indigenous landholders to respectfully manage country and forge real opportunities for urgent climate repair?" 

In this conversation, we hear from one of the seminal writers in tree communication, Peter Wohlleben, who’s book “The Hidden Life of Trees” revolutionised our understanding of how trees nurture and talk to each other. The international bestseller draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to reveal the ways in which trees are like human families and communities, supporting the young ones as they grow, sharing nutrients to those who are sick or struggling, even warning each other of impending danger. The masterpiece was recently made into a documentary film, screened here in Australia by our friends at Transitions Film Festival. As part of that screening, Peter was interviewed by another friend of ours Sarah Wilson, who’s recent book “This One Wild and Precious Life” is, among many things, an ode to hiking and being in forests.

HEALING THE EARTH1st June 2020Producer: Andy Britt Interviews: Vivien LangfordGuests:Greta ThunbergDr Tjanara Goreng GorengRev Glenn LoughreyBruce ShillingsworthVanessa  PetrieRhys Anderson  "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced"  James Baldwin Greta Thunberg spoke to the EU parliament.. The speaker said "You meet politicians who take a photo with you and then do nothing." But make no mistake, "you are not at the white house with Donald Trump, you are not in Australia where the prime minister is  " climatosceptique" You are in Europe! We are making the Green deal ."But Greta tells  this huge assembly  how we are deluding ourselves that we are taking climate action. How we are all pretending,pretending,pretending."We notice the house is on fire yet we go inside, go to bed and do not even call the fire brigade. Our targets for 2050 are wrong. We should have targets for 2020 and each year after that until the carbon emissions are right down."It's a humbling moment and humiliating for us to hear that everybody knows what an obstacle Australia is.There was a standing ovation. For healing we then talk to Dr Tjanara Goreng Goreng. She is a clinical psychologist and Songwoman.She has insights into endurance because Aboriginal people have already been through a holocaust. She wants transformational leaders brave enough to take bold climate action. She says " If you move beyond  being ego centric, you can reach a higher level of thinking. I discovered a number of things that were unique to Aboriginal culture so that a person can navigate to that higher level." Bruce Shillingsworth spoke at the Transitions Film Festival about saving the water in the Darling Barker river. Carbon emissions are behind the drought but unfair draining of the water brings preventable suffering to wildlife and communities. He makes an impassioned appeal for us to defend the river, to supply water tanks and filters to communities that feel abandoned. He invites us to the second great Corroboree tour in September October to go to Bourke and Menindee and listen to the people. The film is " When the river runs dry" by Rory Mc Leod Rev Glenn Loughrey spoke on a panel  about " Sustainable Nation". As a Wiradgeri man, minister and artist he talks about reading the land. It's had enough as the drought, fires and fish kills attest. We can notice these signs but how can we demand less and start the healing?. Vanessa Petrie CEO from BZE and Rhys Anderson water business leader  from Arup talk about working in communities  to  build water and energy solutions that will endure and not cause future damage.

Ian Dunlop, whose association with Shell and the Coal Industry gives us an inside view , said they are engaged in "predatory delay" and must shut down within 2 years. Christine Milne saw signs at Davos of the corporations positioning themselves for bail outs.We ask : Are they too big to fail? Will we let them take us down with them? Please sign the declaration.Meanwhile Heidi Lee is helping business and industry to re imagine themselves using non fossil energy, yes even  green steel. She waxes lyrical over Arc Furnaces and takes us to where things are really molten.  As Simon Holmes a Court said "there is a war on for talent" as coal, oil and gas struggle to find young people who want to work on climate wrecking projects. Heidi is recruiting volunteer engineers to work on projects that leave something to be proud of.Transitions Film Festival starts this week and we speak to Julian O'shea about why he modified a second hand Tuk Tuk to make it go on solar power. He's just been on a tour in India and Thailand. It's a cheaper vehicle than most EVs and will reduce the urban pollution as it beetles about town at 50km p/h. The film Solar Tuk Tuk shows on opening night at the NOVAWe hear Bob Brown calling us to stop  the coal trucks, lock the gates against gas and get in the way of logging in the Tarkine. He calls us Bravehearts and the film "Convoy" celebrates the brave people putting themselves in the way of climate disruptors. He was on the platform beside Adrian Burrugubba of the Wangan and Jagalingou people in the Galilee.Bruce Shillingsworth comes from western NSW where the Darling/ Baarka river is being robbed of its waters. First Nations people feel abandoned and do not acccept the poor conditions that have left them high and dry and have caused widespread deaths of fish and wildlife. He wishes to unify Australians in the restoration of the rivers and the land. You can see it yourself and be part of the discussion, when the film "When the rivers run dry" shows at the  NOVA

Transitions Film Festival from Feb 22 - March 9 shows a program of films dedicated to a sustainable future.

Meet Trevor Meier, award-winning documentary film-maker, photographer, and story-teller. His latest film, ‘A New Economy', has been a popular feature on the global festival circuit, including nationally in Australia as part of the Transitions Film Festival. It's a terrific documentary - much-needed, beautifully produced, and featuring a range of insightful people and projects to fire our imaginations, open our view of the world, and sure up our courage to experiment with new ways of doing things. As Trevor explains, this isn't a movie about the economic crisis we're in – it's about going beyond the crisis. It's about what comes next, or perhaps better said, what is currently coming next. Our first guest on this podcast, Capital Institute founder John Fullerton, features in the film. And like John, Trevor has observed hundreds of projects happening on the ground to build a new economy – they considered 600 for this film alone! His observations of these projects, and of the influential people featured in the movie, are as insightful as his films. He reserves particular mention for John Fullerton, which echoes the reasons we were so pleased to launch the podcast with him. But it's his comment on his biggest regret of the film that is just as important in this light, raising probing insights into the nature of diversity and power in this space. He also talks tellingly about the sense of privilege he feels, and accompanying responsibility, to do what he does with his contribution to the world. And tellingly, again echoing John Fullerton, he talks of the liberating nature of living in this way, with this purpose, this sense of being alive, and connecting with the best of what makes us human – notwithstanding, or even because of, the challenges involved. “I don't see it as a fight”, he says, “I see it as life, this process of creation.” Music is central to ‘A New Economy', and to Trevor's background, and in many ways his choice of music to end the podcast, and how he describes what it means to him, says everything you need to know about him, and the potential of the new economy we might create together. Speaking with Trevor affirms a sense of possibility in the world, one grounded in the reality we might not commonly see unfolding on daily media, but we can see it in his films, and hear it in this conversation. Trevor joins Anthony online from his home in Vancouver.

 We could consider earth as a rental property. God comes down to do an inspection and he/she says ”What are all these holes in the property? Why is all my coral bleached? What have you done with all the trees? …. ?” I can tell you.

CSIRO cuts, Antarctic climate research and Lighter footprintsClaude Lorius a French glaciologist, showed the climate history in an Antarctic Ice Core.In the film "Ice and Sky" we see how his team traced back 400,000 years and the alarming impact of increased carbon in the last two centuries. As an old man we see him dismayed by the attacks of climate sceptics and deniers. The panel at Transitions Film Festival discuss this in terms of cuts to the CSIRO and the climate science that would keep us safe.Caroline Ingvarson won a prize for her local leadership in Lighter Footprints and we celebrate the achievements of her climate action group.Guests:Dr Malte Meinshausen - Director, Australian-German College, The University of MelbourneDr Liz Connor - Founder, Climate GuardiansVictoria McKenzie-McHarg - Climate Campaign Manager, Australian Conservation FoundationKate Auty - Vice Chancellor's Fellow, The University of MelbourneCaroline Ingvarson - Lighter FootprintsKaterina Gaita .
