"Climate Confident" podcast discusses personal carbon allowances with Prof Denise Baden from Southampton University and Prof Tina Fawcett from Oxford University. They explore the role of carbon allowances in fighting climate change, incentivizing low carbon choices, and the potential benefits and hurdles of implementing such a system. They also discuss historical parallels with the EU ETS scheme and the struggle with vested interests. This scheme could guide us towards net-zero and retire once achieved.

They explore the impact of positive vs. negative storytelling, the concept of Thrutopias, and their #ClimateCharacters collaboration with BAFTAs.
