Summary

“I feel upbeat about what's possible," says Tessa Khan, environmental lawyer, campaigner, and founder of Uplift. In this live episode, Tessa joins co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst for a stocktake of the UK's most epic climate victories: ending new oil and gas exploration, shutting down the last coal-fired power plant, and becoming the only major economy to cut greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 50% in 30 years. There's a lot to celebrate – and a lot still to fight for! Plus: how climate messaging can appeal to the populist right. Recorded live at Climate Curious Live in London.
