In this in-depth conversation, Julio and Siân explore the climate emergencies that have emerged within the past decade, including the government response to ozone depletion. Siân talks about the responsibilities of political leaders and governments to intervene and address severe climate incidents as well as the worsening environmental state. They move to discuss the importance of being involved in local government, as well as Siân’s own admiration for the new wave of young activist movements advocating and creating meaningful policy change within the local and national government.
