A rare platform for discussion on climate change from the perspectives of women leading change in sport, health and safety, business and culture.
About this event
Moderated by Bank Australia’s Victoria McKenzie-McHarg – Climates hosted this incredible discussion on women leading change featuring:
● Chyloe Kurdas – Gender Equity, Diversity, Sport and Social Inclusion; AFLW Commentator
● Danielle Dal Cortivo – CEO, Asthma Foundation of Victoria and the ACT
● Kate Fitzgerald – Director of Relief and Recovery, Emergency Management Victoria
● Megan Flynn – Head of Environment and Carbon Strategy, Qantas

Debates about climate change are dominated by the perspectives of scientists, economists and politicians. While these views are clearly very important, we need to engage everyday Australians on climate change by exploring what it means for them.
It’s time we hear from members of society who represent the human side of climate change and how it might impact our communities. This will introduce fresh perspectives on what we can expect and what steps we can take to protect our rich cultural values.
