How do we fight the climate crisis today? Emma Howard-Boyd, CBE, Chair, Client Earth, answers One Question.

What type of leadership do we need to address the climate crisis?

In this episode, Sarah welcomes Emma Howard-Boyd, Chair of Client Earth, Climate Resilience for All and the London Climate Resilience Review and a Global Ambassador for Race to Zero and Race to Resilience, to answer One Question.

With devastating serendipity, this episode was recorded just as the wildfires took hold of LA, causing so much destruction.

Sarah and Emma discuss whether we only change something if we feel it, the political weaponisation of the climate crisis, the need for an economic model of prevention, the importance of hope even at such times, and the need for action, big and small.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addressing the climate crisis, but in the face of overwhelm and anxiety, Emma offers advice on steps to protect the earth and all that comes with it.
