In part one we speak to:
Professor John Schellnhuber - chief advisor to the German government on climate change - What does he regard as a responsible level of global mean temperature rise? - What level of greenhouse concentration in the atmosphere does he suggest we aim to stabilise at? - If 550ppmv is dangerous and likely to lead to amplifying feedbacks, why is the UK government keeping this outdated target? - What will be the chief messages he will be giving to the German government over the coming critical year?
Ed Gillespie, Creative Director, Futerra Sustainability Communications - What is the current public understanding of climate change in the UK? - How do we communicate for behaviour change? - Around the World in 80 Ways - Ed's globe trotting project which explores the joys of travelling without flying
and James Mariott - co-founder, Platform - London as an oil city - Dismantling the network of institutions that comprise the Carbon Web - "And While London Burns" - Platform's new operatic soundwalk around the fossil fuel institutions of the City of London
