These conversations are from November 2021, when Seb Egerton-Read went to the climate change conference in Glasgow to meet some of the leading individuals in the climate space.
First, we'll hear from Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, about where we are with the Planetary Boundaries, how optimistic he is and the role he thinks the circular economy can play in tackling climate change.
We’ll also hear from Wouter van Tol, Head of Government, Community Affairs and Sustainability at DS Smith, and Stephen Jamieson, Global Head of Circular Economy Solutions at SAP.
