AUSTRALIA | S06 E1 - The legacy of our first decisions on climate change

In 1987, scientists gathered in Melbourne for a landmark conference where they discussed, for the first time, the effects climate change might have on Australia.In the decade after that, two decisions were made by federal governments - one Liberal, and one Labor - which have shaped the climate debate in this country ever since. Australia, If You’re Listening will look at why Australia’s found it so hard to tackle climate change since then, and what that means for the future.Guests:Dr Graeme Pearman - Former Chief of Atmospheric Research, CSIROGraham Richardson - former Federal Environment MinisterRos Kelly - former Federal Environment MinisterRobert Hill - former Federal Environment Minister
