Bella talks about the Albanese government's new, yet still very weak, 2035 climate goals and why youth participation is so important in climate activism with guest Ivy Sheng, from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. Recently, the Albanese government introduced their 2035 climate goals, which is a plan to reduce carbon emissions by 65-75% produced during 2005, as part of the bigger plan for net 0 by 2050. The decision has been marked as an incredible and historic decision made by Australia’s government compared to the 43% 2005 decrease set previously. However, once we start to look a little closer at the numbers, it’s easy to see this decrease won’t be nearly enough to stay below 2°C and is below the bare minimum to care for our climate.As a result, many grassroots organisations such as the AYCC, the Nilumbuk Climate Action Team, Extinction Rebellion and many more, held nationwide snap protests outside of Labor MP's offices demanding action for a greater change. We here speeches from Ivy Sheng from AYCC, Mitsy from the Nilumbuk Climate Action Team and a third speaker (Apologies name is unknown, please feel free to let the station know and I will give proper credit!), as well as a performance by the Climate Choir outside of MP Sarah Witty's office in Fitzroy, Melbourne.Additionally, Bella chats to guest speaker Ivy Sheng from AYCC about why youth involvement is super important in the climate action movement.
