FAB Canberra

FAB Canberra

FAB Canberra, a podcast from the Centre For A Better Canberra (FAB CBR), brings you into the conversation with leading experts exploring what makes Canberra great and how we can make it even better. Our first series, Carbon Neutral Canberra, explores the Australian Capital Territory’s impressive journey to 100% renewable energy, and the challenges ahead to get the rest of the way down the path to net zero by 2045 – a legislated mandate. Canberra has the ambition to be carbon neutral by 2045. We're already world-leading as one of the few cities powered by 100% renewable electricity. But there's more to do. FAB CBR leaders Martin Greenwood and Professor Chris Wallace talk environmentalism, town planning, architecture, activism, international human rights, urban microforests, atmospheric science, economics, infrastructure and policymaking to explore what a carbon neutral Canberra can and should look like – and how we can make it a reality. Hear about carbon neutral reform – achieved and aspired to – from experts driving change in Australia’s capital. The Centre For A Better Canberra is the University of Canberra think tank established as part of UC’s civic university commitment to Canberra and the region.
