Women on the Line

Mitigating and adapting to climate change


Listen Later

Today's show features two women working towards climate justice in so-called Australia: Tishiko King, Campaign Director at Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, and Emma Bacon, Executive Director of the Sweltering Cities project.  Tishiko, a proud Torres Strait Islander woman with connections to Masig and Badu Islands, speaks about climate vulnerability and fighting for climate justice in Zenadth Kes/the Torres Strait Islands. Emma discusses the effects of rising temperatures on urban heat stress and why urban infrastructure needs to both adapt to and mitigate climate change. You can find out more about the work of Seed Mob here, and support the Torres Strait 8's 'Our Islands, Our Home' campaign here. Send a personal message to  local member of Parliament for the Torres Strait, Warren Entsch, on why you think the Australian Government should take urgent action to protect Zenadth Kes from climate change. If you live in Australia, take the Sweltering Cities 2022 Summer Survey here before the end of March to support advocacy for sustainable urban development and changes to residential infrastructure in the face of global warming.
