Surprise! I’m back with a bonus episode of Good Will Hunters! I’m thrilled to feature Lady Roslyn Morauta in this special wrap-up episode. Lady Roslyn and I spoke yesterday, on December 18, covering some of the major themes from this series: health financing, the health workforce (including community health workers), the work of The Global Fund, Australia’s role in global health, and more. Most im...

Welcome to Episode 8 of Good Will Hunters in our series on SDG3 – Good Health and Wellbeing. I am your host, Rachel Nunn. This episode is the final in our series and focuses on SDG3.9 – Substantially reducing the number of deaths and illnesses caused by hazardous chemicals, air, water, and soil pollution and contamination. Poor air quality remains a significant health challenge, especially in low-...

Today’s episode is on SDG3.8 - Achieve Universal Health Coverage. Universal Health Coverage means ensuring everyone, everywhere, has access to quality essential health care services, medicines and vaccines. It also means ensuring that health expenditure isn’t a large proportion of total household expenditure. Universal Health Coverage encompasses all of the other targets under SDG3. It’s essential...

Today’s episode looks at SDG 3.7 - By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes. Specifically, we’ll be focusing on a new pr...

Welcome to Episode 5 of Good Will Hunters, in our new series on SDG 3 - Good Health and Wellbeing. Now firstly - I have to apologise. I promised you an episode on each of the SD3 targets, however we are skipping SDG3.5 on substance abuse. We just couldn’t find a great guest for the episode and the show must go on. However, I am very open to doing the episode at a later date, so if you work in subs...

Welcome to Episode 4 of Good Will Hunters, in our new series on SDG 3 - Good Health and Wellbeing. So far in the series, we’ve looked at maternal and child health and infectious diseases. The response to the series has been enormous - last week I appeared on Radio New Zealand talking about the unacceptably high rates of child mortality in Kiribati. This series was designed to raise attention to th...

Welcome to Episode 3 of Good Will Hunters, in our new series on SDG 3 - Good Health and Wellbeing. In our previous episode, we looked at infant and child mortality in Kiribati. The wonderful folks at the Devpolicy Blog published an article on the episode if you’d like to check it out. If you’ve listened to our first two episodes, you’ve probably seen a theme beginning to emerge. We are, in no way,...

Welcome to Episode 2 of our SDG3 series. In this series, we’ll be going through each of the targets of SDG3. In our previous episode, we looked at maternal mortality, and specifically some exciting work happening right here in Australia to developed inhaled oxytocin, to help prevent postpartum hemorraghe, which is one of the leading causes of maternal death. We also heard about the importance of c...

SDG3.1 - Reducing Maternal Mortality, with Prof. Michelle McIntosh and Cherolyn Polomon by Good Will Hunters

This 10th and final episode of A little Less Conversation is one that is both reflective and future facing. If you’re looking to know more about the outcomes achieved at COP28, the architecture of the loss and damage fund and Australia’s climate finance ambitions and commitments more generally, you’ve come to the right place. Jess Mackenzie chats with David Higgins, the branch head of internationa...

Climate change is impacting society in a myriad of ways, yet some groups are experiencing these impacts disproportionately. In this episode we take a deep dive into gender, youth and elders in the Pacific; How are they experiencing climate change? What are their priorities? and What does effective climate leadership look like? In this episode, we are joined by Carolyn Kitione, a youth leader and l...

In a short time in the federal Parliament, Senator David Pocock has made a name for himself as someone willing to speak out on the big issues on behalf of the people most affected. These include taking on the Government over fossil fuels, climate change and other issues including cost of living. In this episode of A Little Less Conversation, Rachel and Dermot chat to Senator Pocock about his advoc...

Climate change could be a political football, easily booted from agency to agency, if there was no true will to progress the agenda. It is true that climate falls under the remit of a number of government agencies – but thankfully, there is the will to ensure it is divided up carefully and with thought. Howard Bamsey, who has spent much of his career as a diplomat and in climate change, joins the...

Adaptation and mitigation are two terms commonly used in connection with how to approach responses to climate change: do we spend our energies trying to address the root causes of climate change, or do we work on strategies to help us adapt? In this episode, Sala George Carter of the Australian National University and climate change activist Lisa Viliamu Jameson join us to discuss the twin approac...

Have you heard about sea grapes? They're a form of edible seaweed found in parts of the Pacific. They're nutritious, particularly for maternal health, and delicious. And they fetch a great price at market. They're sometimes even known as the next superfood. What makes sea grapes particularly interesting to us is the sustainability element: growing them depends on the sustainable development of nea...

Australia made headlines earlier in 2023 with the announcement it was rejoining the Green Climate Fund, reviving interest in the fund. It is the world's largest climate fund, and aims to give a boost to transformative climate action in the form of grants to affected nations. It has attracted its fair share of criticism, particularly over lengthy delays in actually getting money to where it is need...

Loss and damage has quickly emerged as a key theme of COP28, with the news ahead of the summit that rich countries would set up a loss and damage fund, as promised last year. So what is loss and damage, and how has it become the latest frontier in the fight against climate change? Two loss and damage experts join us on this episode to explain more: Julie-Ann Richards, who is the strategy lead for...

Australia’s Climate Ambassador Kristen Tilley has been in the job for just over a year, and in that time has worked to drive Australia’s climate ambitions, whether in decarbonising or ambitions to become a renewable energy superpower. She speaks with Jessica Mackenzie and Dermot O’Gorman about harnessing foreign policy, trade and development policies to drive climate outcomes interntionally. Ambas...

A Little Less Conversation is a podcast series bringing together ACFID, Good Will Hunters and WWF Australia to discuss how to drive action on climate change through an international development and policy lens. In this episode, we discuss what’s coming up in the series: who we’ll be talking with, what we’ll be talking about, and why we’ve chosen this topic at this time. We’re releasing this in the...
