'What I hope is that they [The Government] have really not read the
room correctly on how people feel about the urgency of action on climate change. And people don't want to hear about the importance of investing in fossil fuel, they want to hear how we are going to move to a greener economy with good jobs for people.'
This episode features Carly McLachlan, Professor of Climate and Energy Policy at Manchester University. She's also a director at Tyndall, a Centre for Climate Change Research. Recorded just after news broke about Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak’s approval of over 100 new oil and gas licences, we hear Carly’s opinion on the harsh reality of what this means and how we can remain hopeful for change in the future.
