Emma Watson: Climate change is a values problem. It's a social and political problem more than a tennunb one. We still do have a culture that's very focused around conspicuous consumption, she says. And so perhaps covid gave us an opportunity to reflect on what might be a more sustainable way of being.

The IPCC Report is one of the biggest, most important scientific projects ever undertaken by humankind, bringing together thousands of scientists from around the world to collect and evaluate our most up-to-date knowledge on climate change. Today on the show, Adam speaks with one of the lead authors of that report, Sarah Burch. Sarah explains where we are, where we’re headed, and what we can do to stop it, straight from the horse’s mouth; and she shares why she is optimistic about humanity’s future.
