Too much democracy - or too little‪?‬ Political Heat

Is our democracy up to the challenge of responding to climate change? What do MPs see as their role on climate? And how was it possible for the government to approve a new coal mine in Cumbria, despite being signed up to net zero?
Amy talks with Rebecca Willis, Professor in Energy and Climate Governance at the Lancaster Environment Centre, and author of “Too hot to handle? The democratic challenge of climate change”.
Produced and presented by Amy Mount.
