About this talk
The climate crisis is a global challenge requiring global cooperation to tackle it, but the political world seems further than ever from a consensus about how to do that. What explains the rollback of net-zero commitments, and the growing green backlash? This panel brings together political, media and academic perspectives to examine the shifting politics of climate action and assess the future of green transition. Join us for a frank conversation about navigating the politics of the possible in an era of increasing polarisation and geopolitical competition—and what it means for the future of climate governance. This event is part of the LSE Festival: How to save the planet running from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 June 2026.
