In light of the flooding on Australia's east coast, and the invasion of Ukraine, a re-release of a highly relevant episode. The International Organization for Migration estimates that between 25 million and 1 billion people will move as a result of climate change within the next 30 years.

Toby Kent is an entrepreneur, professional speaker, and business advisor. His work focuses on helping organisations thrive in the face of challenge. He is a board member of the  Business Council for Sustainable Development Australia and for over five years was metropolitan Melbourne's Chief Resilience Officer.
