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.

Our food system, as run today, is a major cause of the climate crisis. “We need to change production, we need to change consumption, and we need to change everything in the middle,” according to Sunniva Sorby. “Peak livestock” should be among our goals.

Food systems and the climate crisis are discussed in this press conference held at COP26 in November of 2021. The panel includes Dr. Helen Harwatt, senior research fellow in the Energy, Environment and Resources programme at Chatham House, and arctic ice explorer Sunniva Sorby, co-founder of Hearts in the Ice, a social media project aimed at engagement on climate change. Scientists Warning Europe Managing Director Ed Gemmell moderates the discussion.
