394 Claire O'Rourke: Together We Can

My guest this week is Claire O’Rourke - campaigner, communicator, and author of Together We Can, a book that shines a light on everyday Australians taking action on climate change.

Claire is dedicated to helping people and communities respond to the climate crisis with hope, courage, and practical solutions. She is currently the CEO at the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network (AEGN) and has held leadership roles with Solar Citizens and the Every Australian Counts campaign, driving grassroots action and national conversations that create meaningful change.

Her work draws on more than two decades of experience in journalism, communications, and social change, spanning Australia and overseas. Through her storytelling, writing, and advocacy, Claire helps people see that climate action isn’t just possible - it’s already happening all around us.

In this episode, we explore what it takes to build a hopeful movement for change, how ordinary people can find their place in tackling the climate crisis, and Claire’s journey from journalism to becoming a national voice for climate solutions.
