Episode description

What happens to Australia’s “carbon capital” when we phase out coal?

If we’re going to tackle climate change, we have to stop burning fossil fuels. That means big change for the towns across Australia whose economies depend on coal and gas. 

Reporter Cheyne Anderson visits Gladstone, in central Queensland, to meet some of the locals who are thinking hard about the future.
