    Big crisis, little change

    Former climate change envoy Howard Bamsey joins Democracy Sausage to talk about the expectations and challenges of COP29 post the U.S. election.  The climate emergency is at its tipping point as world leaders prepare to meet in Baku, Azerbaijan, for the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29).  But with time for change melting away as quickly as the glaciers, what impact will this year’s negotiations actually have? Do developed countries have a greater responsibility to meet targets and mobilise climate finance? And will progress towards a fossil-free future take a step backwards as the US election heats up?  On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Professor Howard Bamsey joins Professor Mark Kenny to discuss the upcoming COP29 summit.  Howard Bamsey is an Honorary Professor at the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance. He is a member of the boards of the Climate Policy Initiative and Climate Works Centre. He has served as Australia’s Special Envoy on Climate Change, Special Adviser on Sustainable Development to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Special Adviser on Green Growth to AusAID. He will be attending COP29.     Mark Kenny is the Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute. He came to the University after a high-profile journalistic career including six years as chief political correspondent and national affairs editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times.  Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

    A perilous occupation with Peter Greste

    Peter Greste joins Democracy Sausage to talk press freedom — what happens when it's taken away and how to protect it.  In a world where journalists have their homes and workplaces raided under national security rounds, how can we preserve the public's right to know? With no explicit constitutional right to freedom of expression, how can Australia protect press freedom? And how do we tackle the declining levels of trust in journalism?    On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Professor Peter Greste joins Professor Mark Kenny to reflect on his detention in Egypt, the ethical responsibilities of media and the perilous state of being a modern-day journalist.  Peter Greste is an award-winning journalist, author and academic. He has been a foreign correspondent with the Reuters, CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera. He is also a Professor of Journalism and Macquarie University and the executive director of the Alliance of Journalists' Freedom.    Mark Kenny is the Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute.
