Overview

"Studies about the Climate Crisis The COVID 19 pandemic has created a climate for change. It has laid bare inequality and provided a dress rehearsal for what awaits if we fail to address Climate Change and cut our carbon emissions. Climate for Change is a challenge to take our love and responsibility for the world seriously. Many of us have known for some time that we need not only to 'care' but also to 'act'. Russell Rollason walks with us through a series of studies that help us realise not only that we can act - but that we must. These studies provide reasons to change and pathways that will allow us to turn our good intentions into concrete, world-saving action. There is time to change the future of our planet. We need to be informed, to get angry and to get going. As Augustine of Hippo said, ""Hope has two beautiful daughters, their names are anger and courage. Anger that things are the way they are, and courage to see that they do not remain as they are."" Climate for Change urges people of faith and hope to become activists for a sustainable future. Our children and grandchildren will inherit the fruit of our decisions."

Author Information

A science honours graduate from the University of Queensland (Geology and Mineralogy), Russell also holds a Masters in General Studies from the UNSW. After working as a geologist for three years, Russell felt called to act on international poverty. Thirty plus years later, his career in international aid and development has included working for a decade with the then Australian Council of Churches (now NCCA), 12 years as Executive Director of the Australian Council for Overseas Aid (now ACFID), 3 years as an international consultant and finally 14 years with AusAID, subsequently absorbed into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). In 1998, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia, for services to international development and humanitarian aid through the Australian Council for Overseas Aid and promotion of social justice in Australia. Russell's DFAT experience introduced him to global water issues. He was posted for 3 years as First Secretary in the Australian High Commission to India, responsible for expanding Australia's technical cooperation program with India in water resource management. After retiring from DFAT in 2019, Russell took up a part-time position as International Development Adviser with eWater, the organisation set up by the Federal and State governments to manage Australia's water modelling tools. Russell's interest in climate change was sparked when visiting poor communities in Asia and Africa and seeing how drought and floods destroyed lives and livelihoods.
