WOMADelaide’s ‘Planet Talks’ program is a forum that has run alongside the world music festival since 2013, holding public conversation and discussions about the environment and a sustainable future for the planet.
The Planet Talks Pavilion is in the heart of the festival site at Adelaide’s Botanic Park/Tainmuntilla, where the festival will this year run from Saturday to Monday on the long weekend, 9-11 March 2024, featuring some of the world’s foremost thought leaders, activists, scientists and change-makers.
The 2024 programme of talks will welcome panelists including former President of the Republic of Kiribati Anote Tong; proud Kulkalaig woman from the Island of Masig and Badugal, and First Nations rights advocate Tishiko King; Zenadh Kes Masig man, climate advocate and traditional owner of Masig Island Yessie Moby; former Tasmanian Greens Party leader and environmentalist Bob Brown; and wildlife scientist, woman in STEM/STEAM, science communicator and author Dr Vanessa Pirotta, who will explore a diverse range of issues including the future of activism, climate leadership and urban nature regeneration.
