How is Northern Ireland tackling the climate challenge? What are some of the things we can do to help? And why should we even care in the first place?

In today’s episode, we catch up with our panel of experts to discuss the role businesses should play in tackling climate change and how you and I can prepare for the economy of the future.

The voices featured in this discussion include:

  • Belfast City Council’s Sustainable Development Lead Clare McKeown

  • Queens University’s Professor of Green Political Economy John Barry

  • Lynsey Cunningham, Enterprise & Climate, Propositions and Engagement, Ulster Bank Lynsey Cunningham

Along the way, we chat about where each of our panellist's individual passion for the environment came from, what Northern Ireland is doing well, and how we could do even better.

Check it out.
