Event Details

As Guardian Australia celebrates its 10th anniversary, join Full Story host Laura Murphy-Oates, climate and environment editor Adam Morton for a live podcast recording examining the state of Australia's natural environment and what is really required over the next decade to arrest its decline. They'll be joined by Gunditjmara man Dr Denis Rose, who has a long history in Aboriginal land and cultural heritage management, ACT Senator David Pocock, and lifelong climate and environment advocate Felicity Wade.

For this live episode, Laura, Adam and the panel of experts examine the findings and response to a 2022 state of the environment report that found, among many other alarming takeaways, that we have one of the highest rates of species decline in the developed world. In response, the Federal Government set a zero-extinctions target for the country’s flora and fauna, part of a broader 10-year environmental plan. But with almost 2,000 species listed as threatened, is this plan enough to halt our extinction crisis?

Since 2019, Full Story has gone beyond the headlines each weekday as Guardian journalists report on Australia and the world’s biggest stories, so you can find out where they started, what happened and what they mean for you.
