To what extent can technology mitigate the effects climate change? With Amol Rajan.

Amol Rajan explores technical and innovative solutions aiming to slow down or perhaps even reverse the effects of climate change. How much can we rely on them to solve the crisis?

Will technology and innovation slow down or even reverse climate change? Amol Rajan looks at some of the existing innovations that could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and also at some of those still being developed. He asks whether we're relying too much on the promise of technology that either isn’t ready yet or can’t work at scale.  

Graihagh Jackson, presenter of the BBC podcast ‘The Climate Question’ is with Amol alongside guests the former President of Kiribati Anote Tong, James Arbib, Aoife O’Leary and Dr Jan Rosenow.
