The simple truth for reversing climate change is right in front of us | Chantal Caruso | TEDxPerth

It's not the science, or the government that will be the solution. Chantal shares with 250 of Western Australia's most influential advocates for a zero carbon future a simple revelation, a revelation that has her feeling positive that climate change can be fixed, and it doesn't have to be at society's expense. Chantal is the Director of Policy and Research at Clean State. With 15 years' experience across government, academic, startup and non-profit sectors, Chantal is the lead author of the Clean State Jobs Plan, 26 big ideas for 200,000 jobs. Previously, in her role as Senior Advisor to former Greens Senator and Deputy Leader Scott Ludlam, Chantal spent almost eight years between Perth and Canberra and was responsible for eight federal portfolios including Housing, Cities, and Transport. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
