IPCC scientist Dr Joëlle Gergis joins The Women’s Agenda Podcast
The science of climate change can be overwhelming, upsetting, and leave us tempted to turn away. Dr Joëlle Gergis is a leading climate scientist and lead author on the UN’s IPCC. She’s determined to make climate science accessible to everyone, and demonstrate the case for hope along with the tipping point within reach that could see us getting close to the response the planet needs. She asks: Do you want to be part of the legacy that restores our faith in humanity?
As one of only a dozen Australian scientists on the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment report, and working in a male dominated field, she saw the opportunity to bring emotion into the conversation and to connect the head with the heart.
Joëlle’s book Humanity’s Moment: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope is published just this week, by Black Inc. Books.
It is the call to action we need, right now.
