Description

“If we’re to overcome an issue as enormous as climate change . . . we need to build the kind of mass movement that has in the past created the political space to end slavery, or create new civil rights, or secure the write-off of billions of dollars of third world debt.” – Alex Evans

Alex Evans has worked with governments on climate change for fifteen years, first in the British Labour government and then at the very top levels of the United Nations. But he always found that when world leaders sit down to negotiate climate change action, national politics always leads to failure and lack of ambition.
