    COP27 Special: Transformation, not Targets

    COP27 was held in Sharm El-Sheik in November this year, and has already faded from the news cycle. In this reflective discussion, Emma is joined by Professors Ben Cashore and Navroz K Dubash, both of whom attended the meeting as observers. Ben and Navroz reflect on their experiences at the meeting, changing political narratives, on outcomes (or otherwise), and what it might all mean for the future of climate negotiations and action.  Professor Ben Cashore is the Li Ka Shing Professor in Public Management and Director, Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Professor Navroz K Dubash works at the Centre for Policy Research, where he conducts research and writes on climate change, energy, air pollution, water policy, and the politics of regulation in the developing world. This episode is a recording of a live webinar held on Thursday, 1 December. The event was hosted by the EU Centre of Excellence at RMIT and the Institute for Environment and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore. It's part of a series hosted by the Jean Monnet Network on Scientific and Social Innovation in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which is co-funded by the Jean Monnet Activities Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

    COP26 Special: Our Exceptional Friend

    Barely Gettin' By might be on a lockdown hiatus, but the climate news keeps coming. In the lead up to the all-important COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, this special episode examines the historic relationship between Australia and the United States when it comes to climate change. Emma reads an extract from her book, Our Exceptional Friend: Australia’s Fatal Alliance with the United States, and asks what that relationship might mean for Glasgow, and the future.

    Inauguration Special - This is America

    After a long 2020 (and a very long January 2021) Joe Biden will be inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States on the morning Thursday, 21 January (Australian time). What does a Presidential Inauguration look like when it’s overshadowed by a pandemic and threat of insurrectionist violence? Chloe and Emma talk about what what we can expect on Thursday, how Australia’s relationship with the USA will change after Donald Trump, what the violence on 6 January means, and what the Inauguration may tell us about the coming Biden Presidency. Emma’s editorial in the Sydney Morning Herald https://www.smh.com.au/national/there-s-a-lot-of-blame-to-go-around-for-the-chaos-in-the-capitol-but-some-belongs-to-australia-20210107-p56sfg.html The Wall Street Journal put together a guide to events on the day https://www.wsj.com/articles/inauguration-guide-schedule-of-events-performances-and-how-to-watch-11610730674 “Scott Morrison says 'Chinese Government should be totally ashamed' of 'repugnant' tweet”, ABC, 30 November 2020, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-30/china-fake-image-australian-war-crimes-afghanistan-tensions/12934538 Hosted on Acast.
