This year’s Festival of Politics looks at what needs to happen to tackle the climate emergency. Has the world has gone past its tipping point or can it be saved through science, technology and innovative action?
Taking place from 20-24 October, our free online panel sessions bring together politicians, academics, writers and business people to debate this question.
