So Hot Right Now

The Negotiator

Farhana Yamin is one of the most influential environmental lawyers and climate policy experts in Britain. This week she chats to Tom and Sam to talk through the past 30 years in the climate world, from convincing world leaders the climate crisis was real, to presenting the notion of zero emissions and campaigning with Extinction Rebellion. We discuss her time in UN boardrooms making etiquette faux pas, representing small islands against international powers, as well as her emotional experience of burnout and depression which has taken her back to nature, and reconnected her to her roots.

To save the world we need to change the story. Nature and the climate are in crisis. To survive we must use our most powerful tool - communication. Telling these stories can be difficult and dangerous, but done right they can change the world. Join wildlife filmmaker and author, Tom Mustill (Greta Thunberg NatureNow), Lucy Siegle (The Guardian, The One Show) and singer, campaigner and writer Sam Lee (The Nightingale) as they venture to COP26 and talk to a range of fascinating people with one shared mission.

Off the back of COP26, Tom and Sam talk to the people behind the policies, and those risking it all to fight for their rights. From policy negotiators , to indigenous community leaders to retired four star generals, we hear from a range of voices sharing their hard-earned insights on saving the planet. Informal, personal and passionate, these conversations will re-energise, inspire, and give you the tools to play your part.
