Dr Matt Williams sits down with Geography student Hannah and Access Officer and Geography graduate Leah to tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: Why is there so little action on climate change, especially from our political leaders?
We explore climate denial, political inertia, economic trade-offs, and the social psychology behind inaction—even when the science is clear.
We also explore key ideas like the prisoner's dilemma, the free rider problem, and fairness across generations.
What does it really take to shift mindsets and policy?
And can Gen Z become the most climate-heroic generation yet?
