Conversations with scientists exploring science-based ways to protect the future of our planet, our children, and other creatures that share our World. We live on a planet in crisis. Scientists have warned us about the rapidly increasing dangers of climate change and destruction of the biosphere - specifically in the 1992, 2017 and 2019 World Scientists’ Warnings which were signed by 1,700; 15,000 and 11,000 scientists respectively when issued.

Local government is at the heart of climate action. Local governments are closest to the citizens and need to pick up the pace of action that is far too slow at the national level. Among topics discussed are Boris Johnson’s COP26 opening speech. Scientists Warning Europe Managing Director Ed Gemmell led this conversation just outside the plenary room at COP 26 with Marianne Overton, vice chair of the Local Government Association and Amelia Womack, deputy leader of the Green Party of England.
