Episode description

This week we speak to Eli Court from ClimateWorks. Eli’s professional life is dedicated to helping people transition to a zero emissions future and his expertise lies in making sense of complex technical and social research. Eli builds teams that turn research into effective on the ground projects, which is good news for us! Currently, Eli leads ClimateWorks’ Land Use Futures program, an initiative supporting the shift to sustainable food and land use in Australia.

What drives Eli is making a contribution to leaving behind a better world and he explains meeting the climate challenge also means making people’s lives better in other ways – improving people’s livelihoods, improving people’s resilience, reducing pollution and restoring nature. We’ve got in on good authority that his favourite pork dish is a roast pork Banh Mi after only discovering pork at the rebellious age of 18.
