Join us as Ian Lowe details his new book, Australia On The Brink.

In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing the threats to our environment are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best — perhaps our only — chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

Lowe will be in conversation with Peter Christoff, a political scientist, a senior Research Fellow with the Melbourne Climate Futures Initiative, and an honorary Associate Professor with the School of Geography, Atmospheric and Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne. He writes about Australian and international climate and environmental politics and policy, and his books include Globalisation and the Environment (co-authored with Robyn Eckersley) and Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World.
