For decades scientists have told us that our climate is changing and that the consequences will be disastrous, yet those in power have continued to do nothing.

Join chair Caroline Lucas MP as she tackles these questions with three passionate and engaging artists and writers. [Anna Hope, author of Expectation and editor of Letters to the Earth, Jude Yawson, editor and co-author alongside the rapper Stormzy of Rise Up: The #Merky Story So Far and teacher of the ‘Writing to Understand Climate Change’ course at the Southbank Centre, and Selina Nwulu, Young Poet Laureate for London 2015-16 and social researcher focused on social and environmental justice]
