So Hot Right Now

Hail Marys! (+ Amy)

This episode is about justice; climate justice. In this two-part special Lucy and Tom get to grips with one of the biggest problems with talking about nature and climate - forgetting to include people.

The climate and nature crisis isn't fair - many of the people worst effected by climate change and the loss of nature have done the least damage. And for a long time, we didn't talk very much about people at all when we talk about climate. But this is changing and this weeks guests are at the forefront of that change. 

Joined first by climate justice pioneer and Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson and innovative climate broadcasters Mary Heglar and Amy Westervelt, So Hot Right Now takes a deep dive into the work of people fighting to get human stories into global issues.

To save the world we need to change the story. Nature and the climate are in crisis. To survive we must use our most powerful tool - communication. Telling these stories can be difficult and dangerous, but done right they can change the world. Join wildlife filmmaker and author, Tom Mustill (Greta Thunberg NatureNow), Lucy Siegle (The Guardian, The One Show) and singer, campaigner and writer Sam Lee (The Nightingale) as they venture to COP26 and talk to a range of fascinating people with one shared mission.

Off the back of COP26, Tom and Sam talk to the people behind the policies, and those risking it all to fight for their rights. From policy negotiators , to indigenous community leaders to retired four star generals, we hear from a range of voices sharing their hard-earned insights on saving the planet. Informal, personal and passionate, these conversations will re-energise, inspire, and give you the tools to play your part.
