The Late Winter Series 2021 of the Edict continues as Planet Earth continues to burn. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is calling it a “code red for humanity”. We dig into that with Ketan Joshi. He’s a communications consultant working with NGOs in Europe, and also a freelance writer covering climate and energy.

We talk about how the policies and actions of the Australian government are lagging well behind public opinion, how quickly we could change our energy technology if we really tried, and what we should tackle over the next decade.
