Climate Action - Tending or Taxing?

What if the biggest problem facing humanity isn't climate change itself, but instead, how we talk about it? Join this robust panel discussion organised by UTS at Vivid Sydney 2023.

Vivid Sydney, Naturally.

"The climate time-bomb is ticking" said the head UN Secretary General in March this year. With the approach of what appears to be a climate catastrophe, should governments and policy makers be engaging change through rhetoric on nature-based solutions, or should they make a hit to the hip pocket?  

Hear from experts who have shifted the dial on climate change: Professor Tim Flannery, world-renowned conservationist and former Australian of the Year, and Anna Rose, activist and environmentalist and author of Madlands: A Journey to Change the Mind of a Climate Sceptic and Professor Martina Linnenluecke, internationally recognised expert on the strategic and financial implications of corporate adaptation and resilience to the impacts of client change and author of The Climate Resilient Organisation.

This robust discussion will look at for and against of culture-changing messaging vs monetary measures to turn the masses to climate champions. Which tactic will prevail? 

This is a FREE event and seats are limited!
