Facing the reality: Plan C's upcoming 'Facing Up' event
Climate change, with its cascading consequences, can often be an overwhelming topic to broach. But in the midst of the complexity and urgency, Plan C has been fostering conversations to face these very challenges head-on. With heartfelt care, empowerment, and unwavering dedication, we present to our Northern Rivers community, yet another thought-provoking 'Facing Up' event.
An Insider's Perspective: Ian Dunlop Speaks Out
Our forthcoming 'Facing Up' event slated for the 30th of August promises a deep dive into the intricacies of climate and ecological crises with none other than Ian Dunlop as our esteemed guest. His unique vantage point—as a former senior executive of Royal Dutch Shell and chair of the Australian Coal Association—provides an unparalleled insight into the underbelly of governmental and corporate entanglements with climate matters.
We live in a world where the once-distant alarms of climate catastrophe now resonate sharply in our daily lives. It's an irrefutable fact: the planet is heating up at a rate that was once unthinkable. Unfortunately, while most Australians have witnessed extreme weather events and harbor grave concerns for the future, there remains a glaring disconnect between public awareness and governmental action.
In a compelling opinion piece, Ian Dunlop, alongside his colleagues from the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group, starkly highlights this disconnect. They critique the government's misplaced priorities and underscore the importance of acknowledging climate change not merely as a political agenda but the defining agenda for our shared future.
At our event, Dunlop will further delve into his journey—from the corridors of the fossil fuel industry to the forefront of climate advocacy—and explore the pathways to adapt and thrive in a radically transformed world.
Navigating the Conversation with Jean Renouf
Understanding the intensity and depth of such a discourse, Plan C’s CEO and founder, Jean Renouf, will accompany Dunlop on stage. Together, they will address the myriad of challenges, feelings, and intricacies surrounding climate change. Jean's presence ensures a trauma-informed approach, enabling participants to navigate the nuances of the conversation with sensitivity and respect.
