For Our Future: What Climate Action Looks Like in 2025

What does meaningful climate action look like in 2025—and how do we find hope, clarity and courage in a time of political, environmental and emotional turbulence?

In this conversation, trailblazing advocate and host Taylor Dee Hawkins sits down with sustainability and communications expert Jo Taranto for a timely exploration of what’s happening on the ground in Australia, the U.S., and grassroots communities post-Climate Action Week and in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

When: 29 April 2025

Together, they’ll unpack:

• What the 2025 election result could mean for the future of renewables
• How to navigate climate conversations in a politically divided era (yes, even in a Trump-influenced world)
• How to support and speak with kids who feel anxious about the climate crisis
  

Jo brings a unique and powerful perspective—as a fifth-generation farmer’s daughter, an Occupational Therapist trained in mental health, and the founder of social enterprise Good for the Hood. Her work on Channel 10’s Planet Shapers and with government, business, and community leaders has made her a standout voice in Australia’s climate communications space.

This session is for:

• ESG professionals looking to turn strategy into action
• Corporate leaders navigating responsibility and impact
• Parents trying to support their children’s eco-anxiety
• Anyone who believes in using communication, joy and courage to shape a better world

Join us as we spotlight the stories, insights, and actions shaping the legacy we leave behind—for our children, our communities, and our future.
