Floods, fires and failed harvests were supposed to jolt democracies into climate action. Instead, climate disasters, through fuelling political and economic discontent, are lighting a fire under the very anger that has empowered anti-climate populists. Who, in turn, then further slow the energy transition, driving worse disasters still. A doom loop in which the crisis erodes our capacity to respond to it. Join winner of the Commonwealth Prize and radical author of After Nations, Rana Dasgupta, for a live recording of the Overshoot podcast alongside host Laurie Laybourn, as they explore how to break free of the climate doom loop.
