Really Interesting Women

The podcast

Ep. 160 Amanda MacKenzie

Amanda MacKenzie is one of Australia's most influential voices in climate change advocacy and policy communication.

As the Chief Executive Officer of the Climate Council, she has spent over a decade transforming how Australians understand and engage with climate science, policy, and action.

And whilst terms such as ‘policy communication’ seem like government speak, the reality is both brilliant and simple. The organisation's success under my Amanda’s leadership lies in its ability to translate complex climate science into understandable, accessible, actionable information for policymakers, media, and the general public.

It’s not a ‘one size fits all’. It doesn’t just present dry scientific data and have you try and interpret its significance. It’s a communications strategy that connects climate science to everyday concerns about health, economics, and community wellbeing.

Amanda MacKenzie’s contributions to climate advocacy and public policy have been widely recognized here and overseas.

I enjoyed this conversation because she simplified a complex subject...or a subject that has been made complex. Unnecessarily.
