In this episode, we explore how we can build back better after a crisis. What are the challenges and opportunities of addressing the climate crisis, including the need for climate justice, the costs of inaction, and the importance of green innovation. We consider the roles of governments, multilateral institutions, and grassroots movements play in driving change. And we conclude with a call to action, So, now what? Where we emphasise the need for coordinated international efforts and a just and equitable transition to a sustainable future. Takeaways Building back better after a crisis requires addressing climate justice and the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities. The costs of climate change, both economic and social, are substantial and require urgent action. Investment in clean energy and good jobs can drive economic growth and reduce carbon emissions.
