Emeritus Professor of Science, Technology and Society at Griffith University and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, Ian knows his way around climate change and ecological collapse.

Join Dr Julie Macken host of Talking Authors online as she talks with the legendry scientist and environmental advocate, Professor Ian Lowe, about his prescient book,

“Australia on the Brink: Avoiding environmental ruin”. Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. “This is our best chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.”
