Episode: Webinar: 'It's real, it's here, it's now, it's happening, it's not a future event and it's consequential' - Minister Stephen Jones on climate change
Description: The realities of climate change were spelt out with distinct clarity at the Tuesday, August 6, forum, both in person and online, organised by the Australian National University through its Institute for Climate, Energy and Disaster Solutions.
The keynote speaker was the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services, Stephen Jones.
Mr Jones said his government, the Australian Labor Government, is not "putting its head in the proverbial bucket of sand" regarding climate change.
He said; "It's real, it's here, it's now, it's happening, it's not a future event and it's consequential".
