Politics of Life & Plan C present: UNSPEAKABLE

Authors Richard Hil and Jean Renouf in conversation with Carmen Stewart discuss facing up to the climate catastrophe and its consequences in Australia.

Climate change is the story that will accompany us for the rest of our lives. What it actually means, for the many ways it will disrupt how we live, our societies and Country, is hard to fathom. Richard Hil and Jean Renouf wrote Unspeakable to understand why it has been so difficult to face the unimaginable squarely.

The book is an attempt to hold steadily the thing most of us would rather look past, that the climate catastrophe is no longer arriving but is already here, and that its consequences in Australia will ask more of us than our institutions, arranged as they currently are, seem ready to give. Alongside that reckoning, the book offers real, tangible and immediately applicable ways that anyone might act now, without waiting for government or their workplace, to live through the climate disruptions already underway.
