Climate Cash

Episode one features villagers from the Solomon Islands who are experiencing the impacts of climate change first-hand. Scientists also share their perspective, we hear from organisations on the ground who are looking for solutions, and learn of the important support role that Australia can play to assist our most vulnerable neighbours.

In episode two, government and finance experts speak about Australia’s role in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and what climate change impacts to the region mean for Australian businesses. We learn how the Green Climate Fund will direct finance into climate change projects in developing countries, other ways that climate finance can be delivered, and discuss what’s needed to encourage more Australian private sector investment in this area.

In this final episode you can hear what kind of projects are out there for the private sector to get involved in and which Australian businesses are already leading the way. This episode also showcases a new initiative started by a blend of organisations, including the Department of Foreign Affairs, WWF, Oxfam and the Australian Council for International Development, that are facilitating Australian corporate support for vulnerable countries.
