The Monash Climate Communication Hub (MCCH) is a leading international research hub focused on the communication of climate change impacts and solutions across commercial TV, radio, print and digital media. The Hub collaborates with leading climate scientists and media organisations to improve public understanding of climate change and its impacts. We do this by producing localised climate news ar
Local sporting clubs are the heartbeat of Australian communities. But running clubrooms, lights, fridges, heating and cooling can come with serious energy costs.
On Triple M Hobart , Amelia Pearson joined Kaz & Tubes to talk about the Federal Government’s Game On: Teaming Up for Climate Action grant program, which will support up to 500 community sports clubs across Australia to upgrade their facilities, improve energy efficiency and become more resilient to extreme weather.
The chat was part of our Tuning In program, where we work with commercial and community radio presenters and producers to explore climate and energy topics that matter to local communities.

🔌 Electric switch leaves renters paying more
Australians who rent or cannot afford to switch appliances face a 'death spiral' of soaring gas bills as each household that switches to electric pushes up costs for those left behind.
For homeowners in a position to go all-electric the hip pocket case is growing.
The Australian Energy Market Commission projects that households making the switch could reduce their energy bills by around $1000 a year – or 20 per cent of their current spend – over the next decade.
But those savings are typically only accessible to people who can cover the upfront cost of new appliances and who own their home.
How the energy transition affects you depends on where you live, whether you own or rent, and when your appliances need replacing.
As winter sets in and heating use rises, it's worth checking what rebates or support schemes are available in your area to help manage rising power bills.
