Prof. Caroline Fisher (News & Media Research Centre, University of Canberra); and Katerina Gaita (Climate for Change) The panel will discuss questions like 'What is more effective- people taking personal steps to reduce their own impact or people pushing for major policy changes?' and 'What can we learn from success stories in emissions reduction?'.
