100 Climate Conversations: Xuemei Bai 2022

Human ecologist Xuemei Bai is re-thinking how humanity's densest habitats can be transformed into low carbon, sustainable eco-cities. Even the most urbanised cities are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, but they are also the sites of some of the most innovative ideas to lead nations to net zero.

See Xuemei Bai in conversation with journalist Patrick Abboud, recorded live at the Powerhouse as part of 100 Climate Conversations.

Distinguished Professor Xuemei Bai is a professor of Urban Environment and Human Ecology at the Australian National University Fenner School of Environment and Society. Previously she was a Senior Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO and a senior researcher at environmental research institutes in Japan. She was a lead author for the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, the Global Energy Assessment, IPBES Global Assessment and IPCC AR6. She co-leads Earth Commission's Working Group 5 on working planetary level targets into cities and businesses. Professor Bai has authored over 100 publications and her many accolades include the Volvo Environment Prize (2018) and the Global Economy Prize (2021).

Patrick Abboud is a Walkley nominated journalist, TV presenter, broadcaster, and award-winning documentary maker. His popular digital first interview series #PatChat featuring pop stars, politicians and everyday people with extraordinary stories has clocked up more than 30 million views. He is the founder of irreverent news, current affairs, satire and long form documentary program The Feed on SBS TV. His work has taken him to 53 countries. In 2020, Cosmopolitan magazine named him one of Australia's 50 most influential LGBTQI+ voices.
