Episode 2
With wildfires raging, heatwaves setting new records, droughts and floods causing disruption, and time fast running out, the climate crisis has never been in sharper focus. Do we rely on governments to provide top-down answers, is it up to each individual, or does education have the power to drive the change that's needed?
In this extended, two-part episode on climate change, we examine the challenges and potential solutions from a variety of perspectives. Part One sees Asha Alexander, Executive Leader for Climate Change at GEMS Education, offer her views on the climate emergency and detail some of the work she's been doing with the UN to promote climate literacy in schools.
