About this talk
Chantal’s excitement is contagious as she presents a 60 second showcase of the Clean State Jobs Plan, 26 big ideas for 200,000 jobs.
The Clean State Jobs Plan is a complex blueprint for decarbonisation in Western Australia, and it is “proudly parochial”.
Chantal shares a revelation that feeds her optimism: It’s not science, or the government, that will be the solution to climate change. We are all part of the solution.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
