We know the world is facing a climate crisis. In confronting this, we must look to the future and consider the challenges not just of today, but of 20, 50 and many more years ahead. What needs to be in place if we are to successfully adapt and navigate those global challenges? Whatever the answer, science and technology will play an essential role in addressing them.

These are the issues at the heart of the second series of the Institute of Physics’ Looking Glass podcast. Hosted by science journalist, podcaster and author Gemma Milne, Looking Glass: A Green Future will invite thinkers from across the political, scientific and social spectrum to share their ideas and experience.

Episode 2: Think More Use Less

We know we have to change the way we make energy, as we move from fossil fuels to renewables, but we also need to rethink how we use it. Without knowing what we’ll be using it for in the future, we can’t know how much we need to create. To what extent do we need to change the way we use energy as individuals? Do our consumer and travel choices actually make a difference? Featuring Dr Madeleine Morris and Professor Alice Larkin.
