Find out what inspires him and what his hopes and dreams are for the global climate movement.This podcast is hosted by Altaf Makhiawala, Strategic Communicator, IKEA Foundation. 

Steve Howard recommends:

Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth is a classic that is very watchable and gives a good understanding of the issue. Watch the trailer

Read The IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees, especially the 30-page summary, if you really want to have a good understanding on the subject.
