S2 E11: How to Save the Ocean: Taking Meaningful Action on Climate Change
Climate Change is the biggest threat to coral reefs worldwide, causing unprecedented coral bleaching events. But there are things we can all do to help - and you don't need to be a marine biologist or even live anywhere near the ocean to make a difference! Here's your guide to powerful, practical climate action to help save the Great Barrier Reef - and the best part? You can do it from anywhere!
Joining us this week is marine scientist and climate campaigner Dr Yolanda Waters, founder and CEO of Divers for Climate, to share real, tangible ways to take action — no matter who you are or where you live.
In this episode:
- What’s really holding people back from urgent climate action?
- Does community action actually work?
- Making it personal: how to align your climate action with your passions and skills
- The A-B-C of climate action: six categories to remember
- Why joining an action group aligned to your interests makes a huge difference
- How being a First Nations ally fits into climate justice
- What’s more impactful: lifestyle changes, social actions, or civic action?
- “If I recycle and use a keep cup, is that enough?”
- The role of citizen science, coral surveys, and coral restoration
- How to talk about climate change in ways that motivate and inspire
- Why we need more storytellers — not more statistics
- How to turn your love for the reef into a meaningful career in climate and conservation
