We’re at a moment in history where protecting our environment, climate and future feels both possible and precarious, and so many different levers need to be pulled to get us there. At the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network (AEGN), our members are taking action, and making change!
This podcast seeks to tell those stories, unpick how the successes were pulled off, and inspire others to give their all for our planet.
Each episode, Amanda Martin OAM (AEGN’s CEO) will be joined by philanthropists, investors, advocates and other champions of change working collaboratively for a sustainable future.
