How did the environment fare during the Conservative Party’s recent time in power? What does the UK’s experience tell us about the opportunities to make progress on climate under a right-wing government?

Amy talks with Meg Trethewey, a former Special Adviser in 10 Downing St and Defra, and Sam Hall, Director of the Conservative Environment Network.

Produced and presented by Amy Mount.
