Yes, you CAN do something about the Climate Crisis
About this episode
The episode discusses the climate crisis and the potential actions ordinary people can take, featuring insights from green economist Angela Francis.
The climate crisis got horribly real this summer – but is it really true that ordinary people can’t do anything about it? The National Emergency Briefing is a growing movement around a stunning documentary film that makes clear the reality of the crisis and what we CAN do about it. Green economist Angela Francis joins us to explain where the fight for a liveable climate is heading; how to beat the Reform angle that it’s just too expensive so we might as well not bother; and bring surprisingly good news about tech, investment and the coming battery. Plus, house prices are falling (in some places), ULEZ is working, and Donald Trump decides North Korea is his favourite Korea. Well, it can’t all be good news. • Find a screening of the National Emergency Briefing here and if there isn’t one near you, you can request one.
