PANEL PERSPECTIVES FOR ACTION
To stimulate reflection and challenge the minds of all participants, our panellists provided these perspectives on clear actions we can all take now:
We need to move away from opinion based decision making and focus on evidence-based research for decision making
~ Veronica Papacosta, CEO SIA
Know where the seafood on your plate has come from – noting that 70% of seafood is imported
~ Tony Worby, Minderoo Foundation
We all need to understand the impact of our fashion choices – what we wear. We need to all ask the right questions of those making our clothes
~ Amy Low, Fashion Industry – Piping Hot Australia
Remove the politics from the solutions – remove the blockers
~ Blair Palese, Global Climate Editor, Climate and Capital Media
We need to stop doing things in silos – everyone has to be a hero
~ Miranda Taylor, CEO National Energy Resources Australia
