Rob Chan: Wheels and the World, How to make it Move Forward Better
Thursday, 6 February, 2025
Today, we’re joined by Rob, a passionate advocate for climate action and sustainable living. Rob brings so much energy to the Sydney climate scene, often with his toddler along for the ride. From his involvement in grassroots organisations to his professional role at Turo, where he's helping shape the future of the transport sharing economy, Rob is deeply engaged in finding practical solutions for a safer, more sustainable world. In this conversation we discuss choosing actions and careers that feel both meaningful and impactful, Rob’s experience growing up as a first generation migrant from Hong Kong in Australia, and the influence this has had on both his parenting and climate journey. We talk transportation, the sharing economy, and the idea of a perfect environmentalist. And about the joy that comes from seeing the positive impact of actions on family. So, whether you're already on your climate action journey or looking to learn how you can start to make a difference, this conversation is packed with insights, inspiration, and practical takeaways.
