Episode 6: ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY

“Can we stay on the road to net-zero emissions by 2050?”

In Fearless Conversations Episode 6: Environment and Sustainability, we delve deep into topics that quite literally affect life on earth. 

Can we stay on the road to net zero, and do people really understand the consequences of climate change and biodiversity loss? Do we have the political will to consider options like nuclear power? As we move towards zero emissions, does South Australia have effective sustainability strategies and environmental planning processes in place?

Join The Advertiser’s Clare Peddie, with Flinders University Professor Corey Bradshaw, Dr Ben Heard, Senior Consultant, Frazer-Nash, Kyra Reznikov, Head of the Environment and Planning practice, Finlaysons Lawyers and Laura Trotta, Senior Environmental Engineer, GHD in an eye-opening and fearless conversation.
