We’re unpicking common narratives around the climate emergency in this episode, asking what’s the impact if discussions on it are dominated by the white middle classes? And what do terms like climate emergency, climate crisis and climate justice actually mean?

Pulling no punches, the panelists are Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, founder of The Ella Roberta Family Foundation and a public health consultant in asthma education, Minnie Rahman of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, Farzana Khan from Voices that Shake - an organisation working with young people developing creative responses to climate justice plus writer and educator Jude Yawson. The event is chaired by BBC Journalist Shivani Dave.
