In this episode of From Us, For Us: Climate Conversations, Ivy Sheng from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) unpacks one of Australia’s most pressing environmental battles - fracking in the Beetaloo Basin. First, independent MP for Kooyong, Dr. Monique Ryan, breaks down the political landscape of fracking, government accountability, and the fight for stronger climate policies. Then, world-renowned climate scientist Dr. Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics and a lead author of the IPCC reports, lays out the hard-hitting science: the environmental consequences, the risks to Australia’s net-zero future, and what’s at stake if we don’t act. Tune in for a powerful conversation on the future of energy, climate action, and the choices that will define a generation.
