Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner team up once more to discuss issues and stories they feel are not getting enough airtime. They want to make sure that the latest news in science and important reports that are relevant to the climate and ecological crisis are flagged and explained in ways that are easy to understand. EPISODE 23: What should we do next? In Aug 2023 in Episode 1 of NFAWIF Clare and Charlie discussed Project 2025. Trump’s now been elected and is dismantling the US state and backtracking on all climate action, while in the UK, Labour has gone all in for growth over the environment. Banks and big businesses are rolling back their climate commitments, and FF companies are rolling back their renewables targets. We should be making serious progress by now, but instead we’re going backwards. So in this episode Clare and Charlie ask: where next for the climate movement?
