The SEI Podcast SeriesQuestions of Management and Policy Amidst Australia’s Bushfire CrisisAn interdisciplinary panel considers how government and industry should best respond to climate-related disasters, which will only become increasingly common, intense, widespread and destructive as the planet warms. The current state and federal approaches to disaster management are failing, as there are inadequate laws and policies to fund government agencies and compensate victims, especially where they are uninsured. With the government defunding research and ignoring recommendations on disasters, resilience and adaptation planning, is a community-based, collaborative approach the only way forward?

The SEI Podcast SeriesBeyond the Climate Elephant: From Climate Denial to Public EngagementClimate change inaction and climate change denial are serious issues, and indeed, a well-organised counter-movement has challenged the science on climate change, and thus the role of science as the basis for guiding public policy (literal denial). Alongside the serious threat to democracy posed by the phenomenon of “literal denial” is “implicatory denial” a phenomenon which occurs when people fail to integrate the facts about climate change that they believe to be true, in their decision-making, political activities, or sense of daily reality. From a sociological standpoint, this brings up interesting questions on human social behaviour surrounding climate change. How and...
