LIFI26: Dr Mya-Rose Craig, Juergen Maier CBE and Chris Packham CBE – The planet hasn’t stopped burning
After decades of international climate diplomacy, why has the issue slipped from the top of so many political agendas? Join TV naturalist Chris Packham and expert guests for a thought-provoking discussion about our beautiful planet.
From global activism and the rise of the Green Party to the cost of fossil fuel dependence through war, what still gives us hope as wildfires rage, and how can we still drive positive change for the next generation?
Host: Chris Packham CBE
In conversation with Dr Mya-Rose Craig and Juergen Maier CBE
Part of the LCIP 2026 Programme
