We are in a climate emergency. The actions we all choose to take over the next decade will decide whether we succeed or fail to meet the biggest challenge to our civilisation in the 21st century.

What you'll learn:

  • What climate change is, and what causes it
  • Why it’s important to you, everyone you know, and all life on our planet
  • What governments and big business need to do
  • How you can tackle climate change in every facet of your life
