PODCAST - Generation One: The Climate Podcast
UCL’s Generation One is a collective of people committed to a new era of positive climate action. By turning science and ideas into action we are working towards creating a positive, fair and progressive future. For us and for the generations to come.
Join our podcast hosts who are all world leading climate experts from University College London, Matt Winning, Helen Czerski and Mark Maslin for our six-episode series, which will tackle the biggest challenges facing the climate crisis, together with expert guests and questions from the public.
Each week on the podcast we’ll be discussing a crucial climate topic, from electric cars, to fashion, to finance and we’ll have a look back at the climate news of the week.
