Mike Berners-Lee: Climate Action and the Power of Truth

Global emissions are worse than ever. The ‘polycrisis’ we face reaches far beyond the climate. Why have we continued to fail when we have the means to succeed? Acclaimed researcher Mike Berners-Lee argues in A Climate of Truth that by focusing on the concept of honesty in our politics, media, and businesses, we can make a radical impact and have more efficiency than we thought possible. His conversation with us today will leave you energised for action. Chaired by Yassmin Abdel-Magied.
