At long last, for a few weeks in April, climate breakdown finally seemed to be at the top of the political agenda.
Extinction Rebellion shut down the streets. School children walked out of classes in protest at inaction from the grown-ups. Politicians – some of them, anyway – declared a climate emergency.
Does this surge of interest mark a real shift in public opinion and political will? Can the energy behind it be harnessed? And can our politicians unite against climate change in time to stop the worst of it?
This week, Matthew Taylor and Ian Leslie ask where the climate movement goes next.
