This is the story of how Australia’s behaviour across decades has made it a climate change outcast. In the first episode we hear how Australia managed to increase its emissions under a climate deal that was supposed to cut them

Billed as the world’s “best, last chance” to get global heating under control, Cop26 has a big goal: to secure global net-zero emissions by 2050 and keep 1.5C within reach.
Australia’s climate report card is poor, following decades of political squabbling, policy failures, leadership coups, climate scepticism and poor planning. And yet most Australians have a lived experience of the worsening climate crisis - devastating bushfires, floods, extreme weather and loss of species and habitat.
Australia v the climate looks at how we got here, what’s gone wrong, and what can be done to change course.
