Climate Crisis Advisory Group

Insightful, moving – and an urgent call to action In the latest in our Climate Conversation series, activist Mitzi Jonelle Tan speaks to Professors Lorraine Whitmarsh and Saleemul Huq about how we can strengthen vital human structures and processes, from cities to food systems, to manage climate change. What can we do to increase climate resilience? Is climate resilience something that is always possible? Does it solve the problem or only buy us time? And what will a more climate-resilient future look like, as opposed to one in which resilience remains limited?

As the countdown to COP27 begins, CCAG looks back at the significant events and moments that have happened since COP26 whether environmental or political.  In this special edition, celebrating the first anniversary of CCAG's founding, we also take questions from the public on their concerns around the climate crisis. Join us as we gather to have crucial discussions on how countries are performing against their climate promises and other topics surrounding the climate emergency facing our planet. The overall hope is that we can provide the public, government, and decision makers with the most comprehensive science, guiding us all towards a better, greener, and more environmentally friendly future for humanity.

Ade Adepitan hosts the CCAG panel with former BBC science editor David Shukman, New Scientist journalist and podcast host Rowan Hooper, the Brazilian climate journalist Meghie Rodrigues and Jon Burke, UK decarbonisation expert.  We also have contributions from Daffa Praditya, activist from Fridays for Future and postdoctoral research associate Jooeun Yoon.
