The Aussie athletes calling for bolder climate action

A group of prominent Australian athletes has signed an open letter calling on the Federal Government to commit to an emissions reduction target of at least 75% below 2005 levels by 2035. Sport for 75%, the campaign behind the letter, says: “In sport, we understand ambitious goals, and understand what it means to achieve them. When it comes to climate, we expect the same from our leaders.” The pledge has been signed by Matildas player Alex Chidiac, ex-Socceroo Craig Foster, Fremantle Captain Alex Pearce, and AFLW legend Nicola Barr. To tell us more about Sport for 75, Barr joins us for today’s deep dive.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Lucy Tassell
