Net Zero: tackling climate change
Season 1, Episode 137, Sep 08, 2020, 08:52 AM
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face in the world today as governments across the globe grapple with the consequences of warming temperatures, rising sea levels, and their impact on human populations.
But is there cause for hope as well as concern? Has the coronavirus pandemic provided us with an opportunity to renew our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and regenerate our natural environment? And how will the climate challenge play into global power politics in the coming decades?
Jack Dickens hosts Dieter Helm, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford and author of the 2017 Helm Review.
