Kevin Anderson is the Zennström Visiting Professor in Climate Change Leadership at Uppsala university. He is also professor of energy and climate change at the University of Manchester and the deputy director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.
He is one of Britain's most recognized and acclaimed climate scientist and has extensive experience in communicating climate science to policy makers, industry, civil society and media.
In this episode Kevin talks about carbon budgets as a way of telling us what we need to do in order to reduce our emissions, flying at the expense of future generations and our immoral lifestyle at the expense of the poor, suffering the consequences of climate change.
In Sweden, Kevin Anderson has made the headlines for taking the train between Uppsala and the Uk. He explains why he stopped flying 12 years ago and the impact of setting an example, to practice what you preach.
