Episode Details

Australia is home to some of the hottest towns in the world. 

In the Northern Territory, remote communities with large Indigenous populations know how to live in extreme heat. 

But even they say they’re seeing the climate change before their eyes, making their homes less and less liveable. 

So what lessons can First Nations peoples impart about surviving the heat?

And can their knowledge offer a way to adapt rather than relying on energy-intensive airconditioning? 

Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Dechlan Brennan on how Indigenous resilience and cultural knowledge can help us cope in a climate crisis.
