  • Health impacts of fossil fuels
    This podcast delves into the complex world of balancing the need for energy through fossil fuels and protecting the environment and human health. Energy is central to so much human activity today and the politics are complex, weighing up local and global needs for energy, the ‘needs of the economy’ against the resultant environmental and climate impacts. Guests Professor Melissa Haswell and Professor Hillary Bambrick discuss how in the centre of this balance is human health and wellbeing which is dependent on energy, but adversely impacted by fossil fuel extraction, processing and by climate change.Oil and gas extraction impacts the environment through pollution and habitat destruction from which recovery and restoration is complex. These industries often operate on Indigenous lands, leading to harmful land rights conflicts. The fossil fuel industry is also a major driver of greenhouse gas emissions and resultant climate change.We need to be good ancestors and we need to put people first, put health first, put children first, says Professor Haswell.--- Melissa Haswell is Professor of Practice (Environmental Wellbeing) in the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy and Services) Portfolio and Honorary Professor in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. She is also a Professor and former Discipline Lead of Health, Safety and Environment in the School of Public Health at Queensland University of Technology.Hilary Bambrick is Professor and Director of the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health at the Australian National University. Hilary is an environmental epidemiologist and bioanthropologist researching the health impacts of climate change, especially on more vulnerable populations, and carries expertise in the development, implementation and evaluation of adaptation strategies.

  • Insights into the Intergenerational Report
    This Podcast delves into the Intergenerational Report, looking at both the challenges and opportunities it highlights.Dr Liz Allen and Professor Paul Burke discuss the key takeaways of the latest IGR that in 2062 Australia will be bigger, slower growing, and more diverse, with living standards at risk of going backwards.Liz says we are “heading into the greatest demographic headwinds of our time,” and we need to spend more time imagining the whole picture, with a particular focus on inequality. We must “discuss the need for earnest and substantive change to actually take control and not assume demographic destiny,” she says.Professor Paul Burke highlights there are a lot of assumptions in the report and discusses our need for specific reforms particularly around superannuation and stamp duty, with additional information also needed in subsequent intergenerational reports. ---Dr Liz Allen is a demographer at the ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods, and has deep experience across the public and university sectors. In 2018, she was appointed an inaugural ABC Top 5 Humanities and Social Science Researcher. And she is the author of the truly wonderful book The Future of Us.

  • Power and policy: from despair to action
    This episode discusses the connections between planetary health and human health. Sharon Friel and Fran Baun look at the challenges of health inequality, over-consumption and how we move toward a better future. To have healthy people we need to have a healthy planet, and in order to do that we need to be prioritising the health and wellbeing lens as a powerful tool for policy shifts. "It can't be biomedical, it's about social. It can't be economic, it's about social. It can't be colonisation, it's about social," Sharon Friel says.---Professor Sharon Friel is the Director of the Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, and the Australian Research Centre for Health Equity at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), here at the Australian National University.

  • Creating communities for children
    This National Child Protection Week we ask the question: What part can we as individuals play in protecting children and creating a culture of care?The theme for this year’s National Child Protection Week is ‘Where we start matters’ building on the essence that ‘every child in every community needs a fair go’. In this episode, we speak to researcher Tim Moore, and NAPCAN Deputy-CEO Rani Kumar about what needs to happen, not just this week, but every day of the year. They discuss the structural problems that need to be addressed in the policy sphere to protect all children, including poverty. Stressors need to be taken off families to help prevent abuse and neglect. Rani Kumar says we need to reframe the conversation to remove shame from parents who are seeking support. The questions being asked need to change from focusing on the parents, and society as a whole. For instance, why is society not providing families the support and safety nets and why as a community do we think it is okay for a child to live in this situation?Sharon raises the importance of having conversations with children and listening to children in all stages of policymaking, rather than just a one-off consultation and assuming we then understand the complexity of children’s lives. Tim Moore says that children’s opinions and views need to be taken more seriously as they bring a lot of value to society. ---Tim Moore is an Associate Professor and Deputy Director at the Institute of Child Protection Studies at The Australian Catholic University, where he leads the Institute’s work to strengthen services and systems and make them more responsive to children and young people. Tim is an internationally recognised child and youth researcher and children's rights advocate. He has provided advice to several inquiries and Commissions, including the national Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Rani Kumar is the Deputy CEO of the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect and was previously the head of policy, research and campaign strategy. NAPCAN has been running National Child Protection Week for the past 30 years. Rani has worked as an early education policy officer with UNICEF in Bangladesh, and in the UK as a social policy officer with Catch 22, an organisation that supports young people leaving out-of-home care. Sharon Bessell is a Professor of Public Policy and Director of both the Children’s Policy Centre and the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre at ANU Crawford School of Public Policy.

  • Reclaiming imagination with Rob Hopkins
    In this episode, Rob Hopkins discusses why we need imagination as a core component to create the future we want. We need to make time to listen to the bird song and allow our minds time to come up with solutions to tough problems. “At a time when we fundamentally have to reimagine everything, we’ve created the worst possible conditions for the human imagination,” Hopkins said. Without imagination and big-picture thinking, we are unable to create a longing for our future that will spark hard work to get there. Rob Hopkins, the founder of the Transition Network, says we need to break down the silos of policy and understand how interconnected we all are. If we are to make a better future and protect the world from climate change, we need to have regional government, local government and communities working together.Most of all, we need to ask ‘What if?’ ---Rob Hopkins is a cofounder of Transition Town Totnes and Transition Network. He has authored a number of books, including From What Is to What If: unleashing the power of imagination to create the future we want. Rob holds a doctorate degree from the University of Plymouth and has received two honorary doctorates from the University of the West of England and the University of Namur. Sharon Bessell is a Professor of Public Policy and Director of both the Children’s Policy Centre and the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre at ANU Crawford School of Public Policy.
