It was 1994 and Greg Mullins was camping with his It was 1994 and Greg Mullins was camping with his family in NSW, when the weather changed and he smelt smoke in the distance. What followed next were some of the most significant bushfires in the State’s history and a moment when the “penny dropped” for Greg that the climate was changing. With more than 50 years experience fighting fires, Greg has seen first hand the impacts of climate change. Since retiring as Commissioner of Fire + Rescue NSW, Greg gathered former fire and emergency services chiefs together to lobby for action on emissions reduction and climate change and has been a strong advocate for reducing disaster risk. Andrew & Joshua spoke with Greg on the podcast recently to ask what more can be done to limit the impact of climate change, the impact of a warming climate on the most vulnerable, and how disaster managers particularly those working in Government can influence key decisions to reduce disaster risk.
