December 28, 2021

46 MINS

ALSO AVAILABLE ON:

Nik Gowing is one of the most distinguished journalists and news anchors of the last several decades, having been a witness and reported on some of the most significant global events and crises. Having just returned from Glasgow and COP26 he argues that climate change is now a climate emergency, that we have a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity to implement the changes that will allow us to defuse what could otherwise turn into a time bomb, with the capacity to greatly undermine social and political stability, as governments attempt to address some of its most destructive consequences. In a wide-ranging interview, Nik talks about the unpalatable choices that we face, the role of disinformation, the empowerment of women, and the need for a new kind of political leadership, less focused on political cycles and the next election and more motivated by the need to finally address the existential challenges we confront.
