Good vibes were off the charts at our TFE Live event, brought on by Elena Bondareva, who’s on a changemaking arc following the release of her book Changemakers’ Handbook, her fellow guest Pablo Berrutti of Stuart Investors, whose passion project sustainable finance library Altiorem, and upbeat moderator Maria Atkinson.

From the impacts of United States on Australia and the rest of the world, to role of AI in communicating sustainability to changemaking, the road to sustainability is, in fact, full of barriers and opportunities.

Alison Scotland cut her professional teeth in the challenging world of Standards Australia.
Today she runs the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council. 
So, you could say she’s had perfect training for the diplomatic minefield she now has to tread in her current job of getting agreement on built environment policy from a wide range of stakeholders.

This is the first episode of the Transitions podcast for The Green List on The Fifth Estate’s How to Build a Better World podcast feed.

We interview Skipp Williamson, managing director of Partners in Performance, who shares insights into what happens in advisory and energy transitions at the big end of town. Skipp has led the ambitious company she co-founded for more than 28 years and speaks to us just as it’s about to be acquired by giant Accenture. We’re joined on the podcast by partners from Skipp’s team, Inga Von Fircks and Rob Fowler. This episode was recorded on 27 May 2024.

Jess Miller is well known to readers of The Fifth Estate - she’s been a brilliant and highly entertaining MC for several of our events now. Starting with our Urban Greening summits at the University of Technology Sydney in the past few years.

But of course Jess has a much wider audience than ours. At a very young age, she became a councillor and then deputy mayor of The City of Sydney and then became a prime initiator in a green or living infrastructure movement called Greener Spaces Better Places program where she worked with another bright spark, Ben Peacock of the Republic of Everyone. 

These days, Jess is working with another ignitor of great ideas, Ross Harding of Finding Infinity, who, quite like Jess, enjoys breaking down conventional barriers alongside conventional wisdom to change the world to another level of sustainability.

Dawn O’Neill is one of those quiet achievers who’s helping to change the world. As the chief executive of eWater, she’s getting rid of toxic chemicals in our kitchens and buildings.

If you care about the chemicals that end up in our waterways and oceans,  you’ll be fully behind her dream that her product could be to the cleaning industry and what solar panels have been to the fossil fuel industry.

Ray Brown heads a practice of 700 people with Architectus, which, after the merger with Conrad Gargett in April this year, is now the biggest architectural practice in Australia.
He’s led some of Australia’s biggest projects – from buildings to urban planning, in most sectors, from offices to rail, social housing and heritage – sometimes, for the biggest projects, in collaboration with big global architectural names. These include the stunning 1 Bligh Street in Sydney, which scooped sustainability hearts and minds when it was completed in 2011.

Paolo Bevilacqua is group head of sustainability for Frasers Property Limited. The role is with the parent company that owns Fraser’s Property Australia, one of the earliest and most courageous movers on the sustainability and greening front. Think  Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre in Melbourne, a Living Building Challenge project that really challenged the thinking on what is possible in development. Not to mention those who worked on it.
