Claire O’Rouke - ChangeMaker Chat - Climate Action
Listen now
Description
Today we talk with Claire O’Rouke - a former journalist, climate campaigner and author of Together We Can - about the diverse and creative grassroots movement of people around Australia taking action to respond to the threat of climate change.  Together We Can canvassed over 70 stories of Australians who have developed novel community based responses to help our climate, defying the logic that you need to be a scientist or a politician to make a difference. We unpack how people have sought to overcome challenges like climate distress and what Claire has learnt about what goes into the most successful forms of change.  For more information about Together We Can visit: https://claireorourke.com/new-book-together-we-can/  For more on ChangeMakers check us out:  Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org  On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/  On Twitter - @changemakers99 or @amandatatts  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
