Webinar: 'The moment of history we find ourselves in, pessimism is a luxury we simply can't afford' - Dr Kumi Naidoo

Dr Kumi Naidoo (pictured) and Professor Noami Oreskes joined former South Australian Premier, Mike Rann, for a stimulating conversation about phasing out fossil fuels at the University of South Australia's Hawke Centre.Promotional material for the conversation says: "Despite world leaders making climate pledges and investments in renewable energy, many governments are still approving new coal, oil and gas projects — threatening our chances of limiting warming to 1.5ºC. "The world has used powerful treaties to ban nuclear weapons, phase out landmines and save the ozone, but we have no international agreement on how to transition away from fossil fuels. How can we chart a future that breaks from fossil fuels, and with the urgency that is needed? "This session will explore the pathway toward a global plan for keeping coal, gas and oil in the ground, and how governments, cities, scientists, communities and people from all walks of life can get involved to protect what we love from the threat of fossil fuels."
