It can often seem as if the political system is ill-equipped to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis. Perhaps with that sentiment in mind, some countries are seeing the rise of groups that are resorting to ever more radical means to demand climate action.
FP’s Cameron Abadi is the author of the new book Climate Radicals: Why Our Environmental Politics Isn’t Working, which documents how two countries, Germany and the United States, have taken contrasting paths toward mitigating climate change. What lessons can the world learn from these approaches? Abadi joined FP Live for a discussion on the book as well as takeaways from this year’s U.N. Climate Change Conference, or COP29, and predictions about U.S. environmental policy under President-elect Donald Trump.
