2025: The Year in Sustainability with Lucy Siegle and James Murray

It's that time of year to have a look back at the previous 12 months and reflect on what has happened in the world of Sustainability. I'm joined by James Murray, Editor in Chief of Business Green and Lucy Siegle (The One Show, books, magazine articles, podcasts and more), and we try not to just scream into the void in despair, but pick over the pieces of 2025 to find a way forward for the Sustainability movement in the face of a wave of populism. We also pick our heroes and villains of 2025 and look forward to what might unfold in 2026.
