This special online event provides a rare opportunity to the Australian Jewish community to hear directly from, and engage with, some of Australia's eminent climate experts and political voices, on what it will take to solve the urgent climate challenge. If COVID has taught us anything, it's that smart policy, technical expertise and courageous political leadership are critical to meeting the great challenges of our time. And with little time to achieve crucial climate goals, Hillel's imperative rings as loud as ever: "If not now, when?"
