Climate Action Show

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien LangfordFebruary 16th 2026B E L E M T O S A N T A M A R T A GuestsKumi Naidoo - President of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation TreatyThis treaty will be a part of the road map discussed at the Santa Marta Conference. Australia has signed the Belem Declaration and Kumi Naidoo wishes our Climate Minister the Honorable Chris Bowen good luck as the President of Negotiations for the next COP . Chris Bowen's role will be to advance the interests of the Pacific. Australia will have “exclusive authority in relation to the negotiations”, to shape and guide global decision making in support of the multilateral system and global trade and investment in clean energy industries.The results of this conference will feed into an October conference in the Pacific which will lead to COP31 at the end of the year.Kumi Naidoo also argues for climate action being action for peace. As Colombia's Environment Minister Irene Velez Torres said since the US attack on oil rich Venezuela "We are more sovereign if we are less dependent on exports that are carbon intensive"This is a volatile time to be getting real about fossil fuel phase out but Kumi Naidoo uses entertaining metaphors to dramatise our urgent need to "Turn off the tap" driving climate chaos. Here is Kumi Naidoo's ABC interview about his new book "What we owe the water."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdYwCSC_RUU Bastiaan Hassing - Programme Lead for the Netherlands at the Santa Marta Summit in ColombiaHe discusses HOW the countries who have already demonstrated a commitment to transition will work on realistic steps. Phasing out subsidies is one way.At COP30 in Belem The Climate Policy Minister of the Netherlands, Sophie Hermans, announced that they would co host with Colombia the First International conference on the phase out of fossil fuels. This is big news. It is outside the UN process but will feed into the next COP in Turkiye.The Netherlands already leads a coalition of 13+countries committed to phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. Australia is not yet a member. We spend $14.5billion p/a which greatly delays the transition to cleaner energy by lowering production costs and distorting the energy market. Gariduyla - Comment at the launch of a film about The Adani/Bravus coal mine and the Wangan and Jagalingou Cultural Custodians who are protecting the waters of the Greatb Artesian Basin beneath it.A new documentary titled "Nagana Yarrbayn – The Water Protectors" focuses on the Wangan and Jagalingou (W&J) Cultural Custodians and their ongoing fight to protect their ancestral waters from Adani's Carmichael mine. Here are details about the film and its upcoming tour:About the Film: The documentary, produced by Kim Paul Nguyen in collaboration with W&J Cultural Custodians, follows Senior Cultural Custodian Adrian Burragubba's efforts to protect his ancestral lands and the sacred Doongmabulla Springs. It highlights their journey through legal battles and public awareness campaigns against the mine.National Film Tour (March 2026): Premiere screenings are planned for four Australian cities in March 2026: Melbourne (March 19), Hobart (March 21), Sydney (March 26), and Brisbane (March 31).Special Appearances: Adrian Burragubba and his son Gurridyula are expected to attend screenings to discuss their fight for cultural rights.Support: Proceeds from the screenings will contribute to a legal fund dedicated to protecting the Doongmabulla Springs.How to Watch: Tickets are available through Humanitix. Options exist for hosting screenings or requesting free tickets for those facing financial barriers.

Rosie interviews Dr Jeremy Walker of the University of Technology Sydney on his research, on the history of petroleum industry and fossil fuel investors early knowledge of global heating, systematic efforts to influence public opinion and government policy to defeat effective climate policy: that is, to reduce fossil fuel industry, extraction and combustion to zero, and replace all energy use with zero-combustion, zero emissions sources. Key to this is an international network of ‘free market thinktanks’ assembled by neoliberal economists, activists, politicians, media organisations and big business funders. Since its 1981 registration, the Atlas Economic Research Foundation (Arlington VA) has fulfilled its mission to ‘litter the world with free market thinktanks’, expanding the global Atlas Network of neoliberal thinktanks to some 550 ‘partner organisations’ in 100 nations eight of which are in Australian and New Zealand (see Pic). In this episode Dr Jeremy Walker discusses new research finding regarding the history, definitions and methods of the Atlas Network of ostensibly ‘independent, non-profit’ public policy research institutes, which whilst generating vast quantities of legacy media outputs policy papers and social media content to influence public opinion, frame public debate (moving the ‘Overton window’) to defeat or advance government policies and constitutional reforms, has only recently been brought to light and named as a coherent global infrastructure- the Atlas Network.Dr Walker then discusses Liberal opposition leader Peter Dutton’s flagship election campaign promises: to use public finances to build ‘clean and cheap’ nuclear power stations across the nation, and to scrap offshore windfarm projects in Port Stephens, Illawarra (NSW), the Southern Ocean (Vic) and Geographe Bay (WA), In each case these announcements were preceded by highly sophisticated, disinformation campaigns involving individuals and organisations long associated with Australian and US Atlas thinktanks, and accompanied by a swarm of ostensibly ‘community based’ campaign websites, often with anonymous membership and always without declaring funding.

NATIVE TITLE TRIBUNAL GREEN LIGHTs SANTOS GAS WELLS IN GOMEROI COUNTRY At the time this show was broadcast we did not know the decision which will be devastating for all those who continue to stand up to prtect the Pilliga, to protect the Great Artesian Basin and to prevent gas,whether it is burned here or exported,from aggravating climate chaos. This podcast contains the voices of Gomeroi people and their allies who cames down from Narrabri and elsewhere to bring a sacred flame to NSW Parliament. You will hear MC Raymond Bubble Weatherill, MP Jackie Scrubie, Assistant Secretary of Unions NSW Vanessa Seagrave, Assistant Secretary of Nurses and Midwives Association Michael Whaites, A Gomeroi speaker from Teachers Federation.

Rosie and Bella interview Steve Mintern from OFFICE, critical urban geographer Dr Kate Shaw and designer and activist Cat Macleod about the environmental and social impacts of demolishing the 44 public housing towers in Melbourne. Steve Mintern is a landscape architect and is one of the managing directors of OFFICE, a charitable not-for-profit design and research practice in Melbourne. OFFICE is made up of a group of architects who assist community groups in advocating for better outcomes within their built environment. We talk about the research OFFICE has done into certain public housing communities, such as the Ascot Vale Estate, and their more sustainable solution of Retain, Repair and Reinvest.Critical urban geographer Dr Kate Shaw has a background in urban planning, focusing on the cultures of cities and the political-economic and social processes that shape them. Cat Macleod is a long-time climate and social justice activist and a designer passionate about saving the public housing towers. We speak to both of them together on the current pickets and research surrounding the situation which does not support the demolition of the public housing towers.

We speak to Mark Graham who, like so many others, has risked a lot to advocate for these Gondwanaland forests. He pays tribute to many of the groups and individuals who have worked for this achgievement and firsat among them are the Gumbaynggirr People whose traditional lands are on the mid North Coast, stretching from the Nambucca River(link is external) in the south to the Clarence River(link is external) in the north, and inland to the Great Dividing Range. Their country is associated with the area around Coffs Harbour(link is external) and includes beaches, rivers, estuaries, and mountains. Virginia Young says that Carbon Offsets are used to delay real action on Climate Change and Australia is one of the countries most relying on them instead of rapidly moving away from coal oil and gas.https://wilderness.org.au/forest-carbon-explained

The talk about indigenous leadership and how this is front and centre in this Brazilian Conference in the heart of the Amazon Forest. Dr Antimony Deor in an interview with Jane Morton, explores how the Biotic Pump theoretically cools the climate. Forests like the Amazon, if left intact, drive atmospheric moisture inland. This is achived by tree evaporating and condensing of large amounts of water vapour. Jane argues that we could achieve 1 degree of climate cooling by protecting the worlds tropical forests. PROTECTING THE FOREST PROTECTORSMeanwhile, this message from Survival International shows us how hard it is going to be for Brazil and other countries to enforce the law and protect the guardians of the forest.

Next year is going to be very tough for coal, oil and gas. These interviews and songs take us into the spirit of the people who have protected waters, forests land and sea country for millenia. BACKGROUNDThe First International Conference for the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels is announced for April 28-29 in 2026. The Netherlands and Colombia will host it at Santa Marta coal port in Colombia.It will be a landmark event focussed just on international cooperation in phasing out coal, oil, and gas and moving beyond UN talks to create concrete plans and pathways for a fair transition.The conference aims to bring together governments, experts, and civil society to build on declarations like the Belem Declaration. Momentum built up at COP 30 in Belem has led to the urgent need to work out the legal, economic, and social steps for a fossil-free future.

He spoke at the First Nations Yarning space in Newcastle and contributed to the stories First Nations people told in Brazil at the massive conference COP 30 in Belem.Listeners will remember the massive STOP ADANI campaign and how many people have been graciously welcomed to Wangan and Jagalingou country. This is a beautiful interview in which we hear that the exploiters are children who do not understand the water table and how destructive their mining activities are.Adani/Bravus continues to export coal but at a much lower volume that planned and with considerable reputational damage here and abroad. The Waddanangu Ceremony continues because these are eternal waters and need our protection.https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/fire-still-burning-for-custodians-in-fight-against-mine/mm2lxpgax Jayden Kitchener Waters sang at a Palestine Action Rally in Sydney.National Indigenous Times 27/11/2025 : "Jayden Kitchener-Waters has been suspended with pay after going public with his alleged experience of censorship at the Premier's public servants Awards.On Monday November 17, Mr Kitchener-Waters was due to play his song 'Nhayla', written for his niece and sung in both English and Ngiyampaa language, before Premier's Department staff told him messages painted on his guitar were "too political" and could be seen as "taking sides"."NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE", "FREE GAZA" and "F*CK THE IDF" was the writing in concern.Mr Kitchener-Waters offered to cover the word 'f*ck' before the issue was raised with the phrase...

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW17th December 2025Produced by Vivien Langford and Antimony DeorBELEM : ROWING AGAINST THE END OF THE WORLD

With summer up and coming, there are heaps of festivals and live music events coming up too. These live music events help to make up Australia’s very rich and diverse arts and music culture, and bring communities together. Like every community centered spaces, festivals and live music are at risk from the increasing extreme and unpredictable weather, like flash flooding, fires, heat waves resulting in increasing insurance costs for festivals, possible cancelling or rescheduling of said festivals and higher ticket costs, all resulting in the possible extinction of these events, which are so important for community and culture building and bonding. Bella talks with Tim Shiel, Green Music Australia’s community organiser, about GMA’s recent report from earlier this year, "Rain, Heat, Repeat", and how its findings on consumer behaviour within festivals informs us how extreme weather can and will further effect live music events as well as solutions we need to action in order to save festivals from extinction, amongst many other things. Later, Bella and Shae discuss further the detriment of losing community-based spaces to climate change effects, as well as how communities can be more central in creating eco-friendly live events and festivals.

Bella talks about the Albanese government's new, yet still very weak, 2035 climate goals and why youth participation is so important in climate activism with guest Ivy Sheng, from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. Recently, the Albanese government introduced their 2035 climate goals, which is a plan to reduce carbon emissions by 65-75% produced during 2005, as part of the bigger plan for net 0 by 2050. The decision has been marked as an incredible and historic decision made by Australia’s government compared to the 43% 2005 decrease set previously. However, once we start to look a little closer at the numbers, it’s easy to see this decrease won’t be nearly enough to stay below 2°C and is below the bare minimum to care for our climate.As a result, many grassroots organisations such as the AYCC, the Nilumbuk Climate Action Team, Extinction Rebellion and many more, held nationwide snap protests outside of Labor MP's offices demanding action for a greater change. We here speeches from Ivy Sheng from AYCC, Mitsy from the Nilumbuk Climate Action Team and a third speaker (Apologies name is unknown, please feel free to let the station know and I will give proper credit!), as well as a performance by the Climate Choir outside of MP Sarah Witty's office in Fitzroy, Melbourne.Additionally, Bella chats to guest speaker Ivy Sheng from AYCC about why youth involvement is super important in the climate action movement.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWPRODUCED BY Vivien LangfordSeptember 22nd 2025 THE GREAT KOALA NATIONAL PARKGuests:Mark Graham - Restoration Ecologist Virginia Young - Director at Wilderness Australia and global expert on carbon sequestration. https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/wilderness-australia-we-need-real-emissions-reductions-not-offsets The most joyful news after decades of civic action: logging banned in the forests dedicated to The Great Koala National Park.As NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe said “These amazing old-growth forests are among the world’s top biodiversity hotspots – home to more than 100 threatened species including greater gliders, the powerful owl and yellow-bellied gliders.”At long last we can praise the state government although there is still a lot to do before this is guaranteed in perpetuity. The Gumbaynggirr and others will be soon weeding and protecting the land around their sacred sites. This park will offer water security for towns along the coast, a safe habitat for countless species and a natural treasure for us all to visit. However, the global Climate, deranged by the fossil fuels we continue to extract for export or burn here, will continue to dry out and threaten these forests. The old growth forest sequesters a lot of carbon but we must not be complacent and think we can use it to offset expanded coal and gas burning through ACCU schemes which are most likely to benefit the biggest carbon emitters in exhuiberant expansions., https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/news/great-koala-national-park We speak to Mark Graham who, like so many others, has risked a lot to advocate for these Gondwanaland forests. He pays tribute to many of the groups and individuals who have worked for this achgievement and firsat among them are the Gumbaynggirr People whose traditional lands are on the mid North Coast, stretching from the Nambucca River in the south to the Clarence River in the north, and inland to the Great Dividing Range. Their country is associated with the area around Coffs Harbour and includes beaches, rivers, estuaries, and mountains. Then we have a song from Carmen Modjito inspired by Greta Thunberg "Our house is on fire" Virginia Young says that Carbon Offsets are used to delay real action on Climate Change and Australia is one of the countries most relying on them instead of rapidly moving away from coal oil and gas.https://wilderness.org.au/forest-carbon-explainedShe speaks of her experience with the Mickisaw Cree People in Canada protecting a freshwater delta in Buffalo National Park and the Kaiapo people in the Amazon who will be present at the upcoming Climate Conference in Belem this November.She says “We also need more investment in energy infrastructure, so local councils, small businesses and other organisations can easily decarbonise. Everywhere, we need to be thinking, ‘What can we actually do to reduce our real emissions?’.”

Bella discusses the recent amendments from the Melbourne City Council, urging the Victorian and Federal governments to look into new frameworks to limit and restrict "disruptive" mass protests in the city as a result of the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests over the past 2 years. Looking at the discrepancies about councillors' views on the supposed disruption to businesses due to the protests. Additionally, the long and significant history of environmental social justice protests in Melbourne, and Australia as a whole, is explored in relation to why the right to protest here in Australia is so important and the things protesting and demonstrations have achieved. Finally, we highlight two Australian-based, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musicians and bands who explore environmental social justice and their connection to the land through this. The first track is titled Nullarbor Dreaming by Dave Norman and the second is Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) by Small Island Big Song. Below are a few links mentioned in the show!Submit your say, or opposition, on the Melbourne City's Council amendment to look into restricting disruptive protests in the Melbourne CBD.More information on the history of protest here in Australia & Melbourne: #1, #2Dr Olivia Ball & The Greens Party joint Instagram post.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW September 1st 2025 - Repeat from 2021"ONCE YOU KNOW"Produced by Vivien Langford What happens "once you know" about climate change? Two film makers from TFF show us the "spear in the chest moment", when a person with a platform becomes an activist.Once you Know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxlhoFXc-agEmmanuel Cappelin had such a moment when he realised we are heading for collapse. It is a grenade word. When it explodes in your mind you need to find out what to do, to be transformed or to remain stuck. He visits Joanna Macey in USA and Dr Saleemul Huq in Bangladesh. These people have been bravely facing the challenges for decades. He looks at Transition Towns, Citizens' assemblies and direct Action through Extinction Rebellion. It is an intellectually provocative discussion. Emmanuel talks about preparing for the "long future". When we are reeling from local climate shocks and shortages how will we maintain democractic and civilised behaviour? What must we save on the way down? Beyond Zero - https://beyondzerofilm.com/Nathan Havey film is Beyond Zero – A feature length documentary from HaveyPro Cinema (beyondzerofilm.com)(link is external) It brings us the story of a carpet company called " Interface" whose CEO, Ray Anderson, had a "spear in the chest moment" after reading a book by Paul Hawken. Ray saw that industry needs to achieve far more than sustainability. It needs to sequester carbon, and prevent future environmental damage. In 2019, "the company officially announced the completion of Mission Zero and introduced the next mission, called Climate Take Back; an aggressive new strategy to sequester carbon in their products and make their factories perform the same functions as forests, sustaining and replenishing the ecosystem." Nathan says " You can't mandate a change like that. A cultural transition makes an environmental transformation possible."We talk about the Green New Deal, Biden's climate action promises and the caring economy. He says we "have to bring more people in to design solutions" and offers his film as a part of any Business Curriculum.Teach This Story – Beyond Zero (beyondzerofilm.com)(link is external)To build a lasting community of workers with a stake in the future here is an online course from HarvardIntrapreneur Accelerator(link is external) If there's a tomorrow
