Vale Phillip Sutton: I'll miss the comforting voice and the world will miss his sweeping knowledge


Listen Later

Phillip Sutton (pictured) was one of Australia's busiest climate activists, but sadly he died in mid-June, robbing Australia, and the World, of one of its clearest and most far-reaching thinkers, when it came to understanding how we, that's the world community, could navigate a problem that going to test our resilience, tenacity, endurance, resourcefulness and within all those things, our ability to collaborate. 

Phillip played a key role in seeing the worldwide take-up of the climate emergency idea, working closely with Adrian Whitehead to see Melbourne's Darebin City Council become the first jurisdiction in the world to declare a climate emergency. Adrian now administers an organization known as CACE -  Council and Community Action in the Climate Emergency.

The Victorian Climate Action Network has its usual monthly meeting on Saturday, June 18, and Phillip was to share with the group his knowledge and understanding of geoengineering and along with that how we should care for others. 

However, friend and co-author of "Climate Code Red", David Spratt stepped in with an interview he had recorded earlier with Professor John Moore from the Arctic Centre at the University of Lapland.
