The Pacific island of Kiribati could be completelysubmerged by rising sea levels in just seventy years, but the nation is among the world’s lowestemitters of C02.  

Australia, on the other hand, is among the highest. In 2019, we emitted twenty-one times more C02 per capita than Kiribati.  

Today, we’re bringing you three stories about climate injustice — stories about the world’s richest countries accelerating climate change, and the developing countries paying the price.  

Reporting by Timothy Evetts, Nuoxin Li, and Jerome Des Preaux.

Climate Generation: Eco-injustice

Ask a group of teenagers about their dream jobs and you’ll likely hear a familiar list: doctor, lawyer, architect, psychologist... 

According to an OECD survey, these are some of the most desired jobs among students worldwide. 

But what about all the jobs they don’t even know exist?  

This week, we’re bringing you stories from off the beaten career path. Stories about people along the number 19 tramline finding fulfilment in unconventional workplaces, from cemeteries to adult stores.   

It's the second episode of Tram Tales. Our new series about Melbournians who live, work, and travel along the number 19 route — the city’s central artery. 



Featuring stories by Sam Irvine, Longfei Zhou, Ellen Cutler, and Fanting Ming.

Tram Tales: Odd Jobs

The number 19 tramline is Melbourne’s backbone, taking passengers all the way from Coburg north to Flinders Street Station. Our new series, Tram Tales, shares the stories and struggles of people who, live, work, and travel along this central artery.  

For our first episode, we're focusing on an issue that’s top of mind for most Australians — the cost-of-living crisis. 

Energy, housing, and food costs have skyrocketed, the price of bread is up 24% since 2021, and many are barely getting by. A recent New York Times article even said happy-go-lucky Australia is feeling neither happy nor lucky.  

So we’re investigating how people along route 19 are coping.



Featuring reporting by James Worsfold, Yibo Meng, Yingyu Liu, and Elliot Rodriguez.

Tram Tales: Feeling the Crunch

In the days of hunter-gatherers, social exclusion meant certain death. Humans have evolved with a primal need for belonging — and we still suppress our differences so we can fit in. But what happens when we buck this trend?  

This week, we’re bringing you stories about embracing our differences.  

It’s the sixth episode of Not Natural, a series about the tension between the natural and the artificial. These stories were produced for the Science Galley’s new exhibition — Not Natural. It’s open now and includes a listening station where you can hear work from our students.

Featuring stories by Amelia Davies, Adeline Johnston, Eleanor Dean, and Alexander McGuire.
