Synopsis

If Australia was told tomorrow that we were declaring 'Code Red' status on climate change and had to reduce carbon
emissions drastically, immediately and at all costs, what would we do? Inspired by the book "Climate Code Red" by Philip
Sutton and David Spratt, this workshop will go beyond the question 'is all this really happening?' and explore both real and
extreme options for reducing our impact on this planet. Once the extreme has been defined, the difficult starts to look
manageable.
