6:39Now PlayingGeorge Monbiot discusses the one action he proposes world governments could do right now to improve our chances of mitigating climate change.
Monbiot explores how the world’s richest nations are failing to meet their climate pledges while at the same time spending billions on "perverse" policies which are actively destructive to the climate and the planet. He proposes what he believes should be done instead in order to stand a chance of stopping climate breakdown.
Read Phillipa Nuttall’s write up of her interview with George Monbiot for the New Statesman, here:
--
George Monbiot is an author, environmentalist and leading thinker on the issue of climate change and the environment. He’s a proponent of the rewilding movement. His new book, Regenesis, addresses what he terms “myths” in the environmental movement against climate change, and explores new ideas for how to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown.
