The Real World: intergenerational and technological balance in a climate crisis
In this conversation, part of our Crafting Hope series, Emma Pavey is joined by Dr Elin Kelsey, Jonathan Nobrega and Abhay Singh Sachal for a conversation about intergenerational challenges and potential in tackling climate change. We also discuss the use of technology and how to connect with nature both with it and without it.
