AUS Monthly Guest Speaker (online) @ 4:30pm

4.30 pm NSW, VIC, ACT, TAS | 4 pm SA | 3.30 pm QLD | 3 pm NT | 1.30 pm WA

Those of us involved with climate activism know it’s a battle with entrenched interests that have led us into a climate emergency. It’s hard to remain cheerful when wedged between denialism and disaster. This month Journalist Rod Taylor will present “CCL, hope and the struggle for a liveable world” – he will talk about why organisations such as CCL are crucial to our sense of hope. In his recent book Ten Journeys on a Fragile Planet he detailed the lives of ten outstanding Australians who have – and are – doing something to confront the perilous state of the environment. He presents their stories, how they’ve succeeded in a time of crisis, and how they’ve maintained hope and what we can learn from them. Read more…

Rod was recently interviewed by Robyn Williams on ABC’s The Science Show. You can listen to the full interview here. Following the talk on Sunday we will divide into groups to discuss the issue. Come on to Zoom and join us, all welcome. At 4:30pm AEDT on Sunday click the link: https://zoom.us/j/7868786878
