Aug 18, 2022
Episode description
The Albanese Government has released a discussion paper outlining changes to the safeguard mechanism ensuring high industrial polluters decarbonise to levels set. Hugh Grossman from RepuTex Energy explains what this means. Meanwhile the University of Queensland in conjunction with the WWF-Australia have put a dollar figure on how much funding is needed to repair the damage to habitat caused by the Black Summer Fires. Dr Michelle Ward breaks down the numbers. And green capitalism. Adrienne Buller discusses why acting on climate change through the prism of capital markets does not work in her book, The Value of a Whale.
