In Episode 6 of Millennials Gone Circular, we kick off our Climate Change Series by getting down to the basics of climate change in an easy-to-understand way. This episode gives a foundation for anyone looking to better grasp what climate change is, why it matters and why we should care.
We explore the causes of climate change, the effects of global warming and introduce the important concept of planetary boundaries.
