Join Australian climate scientist Dr Joëlle Gergis in conversation with ecologist Emerita Lesley Hughes on her new book, Humanity’s Moment: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope.
A climate scientist’s guide to rekindling hope, and a call to action to restore our relationship with ourselves, each other and our planet.
