S4E3: The Climate Crisis- An Opportunity?

Frustrated with always hearing all about our impending doom and our dying planet? Lucy's here to offer a different perspective on the climate crisis in this episode which should hopefully leave you feeling empowered to do something about the challenges we face (rather than wanting to just bury your head in the sand). Focusing on the problems is only creating guilt, inaction and anger, but if we start putting the solutions that exist already into action, we might start to actually improve the situation. So, let's talk about what we can do!!

In this episode, Lucy explains some of the things she's learnt through engaging with the work of the incredible organisation Project Drawdown, who focus on stopping catastrophic climate change. From educating girls across the globe to green energy production, they've calculated that if the solutions we have now are scaled up, we are capable of reversing global warming. What are we waiting for?!

"We don't need a few people doing it perfectly. We need everyone making changes imperfectly."

If you're a Uni of Nottingham student/alumni and want to add your name to a letter regarding climate change action for the Vice-Chancellor, do so here!! Thank you.
