Friends of the Earth Scotland Director and Honorary Graduate, Dr Richard Dixon and Professor Mark Huxham sit down with Ross Burns for a passionate and engaging discussion about the current climate condition. 

There’s much discussion over the correct terminology of the changing climate and just how bad the situation is. We also talk about the current wave-makers within the community Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion and how their approach differs from other activist groups and whether their more direct approach is helping or hindering the cause. Mark Huxham also goes into detail about his Leonardo DiCaprio-backed Mangrove project in Kenya and why mangroves are so important and need to be protected.
