Introducing The Climate Question
6:09
Not just a show about climate, it’s also about how we can change.
What’s stopping us from stopping climate change?
Finding new ways of understanding what is happening to our world and the
solutions that are out there.

America v China
22:59
Will a Joe Biden presidency be better for the environment than President
Trump’s policies?
Is China really set to take the lead on tackling climate change? And can the world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases work together for the good of the planet?

We're joined by former governor of California Jerry Brown, now with the
California-China Climate Institute at Berkeley, and Daily Telegraph
journalist Sophia Yan.

Professor Thomas Gillespie studies emerging infectious diseases, the types we don’t even have a name for yet.
His work has shown the problems of land use change for mining and agriculture and the emergence of diseases that jump from animals to humans, like Covid-19.
The more we cut down, the closer we get to diseases we’d never encountered before.
We also hear about global solutions from World Service environment correspondent Navin Singh Kadhka, and how we can help in the fight to save the rainforests.
The war on trees and what it means for disease 23:56
Many people have worried that the Covid-19 pandemic meant the harm
of climate change was being ignored. But could the opposite be
true?
Neal Razzell and Graihagh Jackson look at the links between both emerging pandemics and deforestation.
We’ll be on the ground in Nigeria, with BBC reporter Nkechi Ogbonna showing us the reality of farming and land use change in the tropics.
While in the bush, she meets an illegal logger to find out their take on climate change and pandemics.

A degree away from carnage 27:26
Climate scientists have shifted the definition of what they believe is the
"safe" limit of climate change.
Researchers argued the global temperature rise must be kept below two degrees Celsius by the end of this century to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. But what are those worst impacts in reality?
What does it mean to people, communities and the world we live in? In this episode, we go to the people who see the effect of the rising temperature in their daily life.
