Climate Fear in an Election Year


Listen Later

Climate Fear in an Election Year As we prepare to hit the polls again this year, the major parties are scrambling to demonstrate their environmental credentials. Grassroots organisers are looking at what it will take to cut through the noise and mobilise voters for climate action.In this episode, we hear from grassroots campaigners who are mobilising for climate action. Speaking at a recent 350 campaign launch, CEO Te Raukira O’Connell Rapira shares learnings from the Rock Enrol campaign in Aoteroa New Zealand, and Olympic medallist Rhydian Cowley poses sport as a point of connection and concern for voters. We also hear from Genevieve Cowie of Doctors for the Environment about the health impacts of climate change and how to speak to elected representatives about your concerns.Together, they convey the gravity of this political moment, and pose ways forward for those of us concerned about the election and our future. Recordings taken from the 350 Wills Campaign Launch and Nuclear Weapons X Climate Collapse at the National Sustainability Festival. Earth Matters #1494 was produced by Mia Audrey on the lands of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung in Narrm (Melbourne).
