Hot Takes, High Stakes

Presented by Australian Conservation Foundation

The world is broken. You didn't break it. So how do you fix it?

Hot Takes, High Stakes cuts through the noise: a panel event for anyone who refuses to look away. Come and listen to sharp minds, real talk, and a stubborn belief that collective power can actually get us out of this mess.

We're tackling the big issues head-on:

- Climate chaos that we're seeing, what's really happening, and what comes next
- Media madness: who's controlling the narrative? How we take it back?
- Indigenous rights, land, sovereignty, and the long fight for justice
- Human rights law and the legal tools we have, and how to wield them
- Youth action and how the next generation isn't waiting for permission
- Harnessing our collective power and what it actually looks like to build a movement that wins

Come ready to think hard, argue well, and leave more hopeful than when you arrived.

Speakers to be announced soon.
