There has been a great deal of uncertainty in British politics recently, and a victim of this has been environmental commitments with fracking, for example being in favour and then out again within days.  As three-quarters of British voters are concerned about the effects of climate change we must ask ourselves if the recent poor polling results are at least in some part related to the lack of clarity on the Conservatives climate position.  In this week’s Sustain Talks Sam talks to Ed Gemmell the leader of the climate party who wants to "get climate done".  They talk about what the Climate Party stands for, and Ed’s views on what can be done both from a business and political standpoint to make a real difference. Also discussed is the significance of 2030 and why this date or preferably one beforehand should be what we are aiming for when setting net zero targets!  Sam and Ed also debate COP26 and also COP27, which begins this weekend. Should King Charles, Prince William, and Rishi Sunak attend?  00:20 - Who is Ed Gemmell? 01:50 - A journey from army officer and lawyer to climate. 05:30 - How bad is the climate crisis? 10:25 - What should businesses do now? 13:50 - Change has to happen now. 16:30 - What have we achieved since COP26? 19:20 - Is Rishi Sunak going to deliver on environmental commitments? 22:00 - Is there any reason the Royals shouldn't attend COP27? 23:44 - What is Ed's views on trees in the UK? 26:20 - What are Ed's views on climate activism?  28:24 - What is next for the Climate Party.
