In this episode we're talking to Duncan Brack, a leading policy analyst who transitioned from health issues to global sustainability and the world of forest governance and trade regulation. With Duncan we learn how international trade impacts environmental sustainability, especially when it amplifies unsustainable practices. We look at the intricacies of trade systems and energy policies as we explore incoming solutions like the EU Deforestation Regulation.
Our discussion doesn't stop there; we consider the role of biomass in achieving net-zero emissions, looking at its environmental viability and the pressures it places on global forests.
We also touch on politics with Duncan, including the European Parliament's right-wing majority and its effects on environmental legislation. We reflect on the UK's evolving relationship with the EU and the potential for rekindling stronger ties.
And of course - communication emerges as a vital tool in addressing divisive political issues and securing a sustainable future.
