Western Hemisphere Webinar, Thursday April 20, 2023, 2:00 to 3:30 pm (EDT)

A guide and accompanying toolkit for universities and colleges to accelerate climate action worldwide organised by Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)

INVEST IN OUR PLANET

Get Inspired. Take Action. Be a part of the green revolution.

For Earth Day 2023, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.

The health and other impacts of climate change highlight an imperative for urgent climate action. The health community continues to increase its efforts in raising the alarm on climate-related health impacts and emphasising the health and economic benefits of ambitious and timely action. Yet, projections based on the analysis of current policies and action see us remain on a dangerous path of global warming over 2°C.

Using insights from the political economy literature, this webinar will explore what strategies might exist to secure the urgent action needed to develop healthier climate policies.

PUBLIC SEMINAR by Associate Professor Simon Michaux

4-5pm AEST and 9-10am EEST

Register for this free, online event

The University of Tasmania is the top ranked university in the world for climate action and is committed to sustainability for a just and viable future, across operations, research, and teaching. However, new challenges are emerging:

• Limited quantities of minerals for producing renewable energy technologies

• Substantial carbon and ecological footprint of renewable technologies

• Child and slave labour in mining minerals used in renewable technologies

Simon Michaux is renowned for his plain-speaking on the Green Transition, describing minerals as the ‘new oil’ and identifying Green Transition plans as ‘logistically impractical’. In this seminar, he will detail his research and provide insights on an alternative plan for transforming our relationship between energy, minerals, and industrialization. Simon works with Geological Survey of Finland (Geologian Tutkimuskeskus) in the Circular Economy Solutions unit, with qualifications in physics and geology and a background in the Australian mining industry.
