Drive Time Show Podcast 06-10-2025: Climate Liability and NHS Can it Survive
Update: 2025-10-06
Description
Join Imran Akram, Ammar Ahmad & Sabah Zafar for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Climate Liability’ and ‘NHS Can it Survive’
Climate Liability
With just 57 companies responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016, and research linking major oil companies to specific heatwaves and climate disasters, questions of legal and financial liability are becoming impossible to ignore. Join us as we explore who should bear responsibility for climate damages, examine legal battles against fossil fuel giants, and consider what climate justice means for affected communities.
NHS can it survive
The NHS has long been the crown jewel of Britain’s welfare system, but missed cancer targets, rising waiting lists, and a shift toward private care now raise urgent questions: can it still deliver on its founding promise, or are we heading toward a two-tier system? Join us as we explore the growing pressures on the NHS, the debate over privatisation, and why more young people are turning to private care.
Guests:
Professor Michael Gerrard - Founder of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University and a leading authority on climate litigation and corporate accountability.
Dr Tony O'Sullivan - co-chair and retired consultant paediatrician at KONP (Keep our NHS public)
Allyson Pollock - Clinical Professor of Public Health and Co-Director of the Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Sciences at Newcastle University
Producers:
Aisha Aullybux and Mariam Munib
