We may be on a break, but you can still listen to some of our favourite episodes!
In 2021, Josh chatted to Paul Govind and Mark McVeigh about why young people are suing companies and governments over climate change.
At age 23, Mark took his super company, REST, to court. He argued the $57bn company failed to consider climate change when investing. Days before the trial, REST admitted Mark was right! Mark tells Josh about his experience and why it's necessary to hold companies accountable for their climate change records.
To understand why people are taking companies and governments to court, Josh also chats to Paul. Paul is a Lecturer at the Centre for Environmental Law at Macquarie University Law School. Paul unpacks recent climate change cases and explains how environmental law is changing our globalised world.
