The Climate Connection 2010
As world leaders gather in Cancun for the UN's climate summit, the Climate Connection explores a key question in the story of action on climate change: what's stopping us?
The Climate Connection explores a key question in the story of action on climate change: what's stopping us?
The overwhelming majority of the world's scientists accept that the climate is warming, so too, do the vast majority of politicians and industry leaders and for that matter, hundreds of millions of ordinary citizens for whom the consequences of warming may already be a reality.
So with this level of consensus - and as world leaders gather in Cancun for the UN's climate change talks - the question is why we are not making progress on action at a pace that matches the challenge?
Over a series of five programmes running across one week, the Climate Connection will look at what systems or beliefs might lie behind our apparent apathy, and which paths we might need to take in order to respond meaningfully to climate change.
The Climate Connection was produced in association with The Open University.
