Tim Flannery gives the annual ANU Reconciliation Lecture

Professor Tim Flannery gives the annual ANU Reconciliation Lecture.

Professor Flannery uses this talk to reflect on what ancient Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures have to teach us all in the modern world. He discusses the rapid globalisation of the world and the common culture of social media among young people. He also discusses how people are adopting global solutions to global problems such as climate change and reflect on how the nature of reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and other Australians is being influenced by these trends.

Professor Flannery is one of Australia's leading writers on climate change and heads up the Multi-Party Climate Change Commission established by the Prime Minister. An internationally-acclaimed scientist, explorer and conservationist, Professor Flannery was named Australian of the Year in 2007.
