The Cool Down: elite athletes calling for climate action

Australians want our government to do more to fight climate change.  Australians also love their sport.

 

Former Wallaby captain David Pocock has established the Cool Down; over 400 athletes who have lent their name to a campaign to pressure our politicians to do something about climate change.

 

We’re joined by Liz Ellis, the former Australian netball skipper, who has lent her voice to the campaign.  Liz talks passionately about how and why Australia can be a world leader in the climate change debate, and why sport is the perfect way to show the world we mean business.
