CMEC Director Charlotte Leslie talks to Amr Ramadan, a climate change young advocate and activist from Egypt who has been working with thew British Council.

Amr talks about his work in tackling this enormous challenge. His own city of Alexandria is one of the cities facing the threat of climate-changed induced rising sea levels.

Of all the threats we face, climate change is perhaps the greatest and most urgent.

Record temperatures are now the norm, and a recent survey of many of the world's leading climate scientists showed that most of them expected temperatures to rise to at least 2. 5 degrees above pre industrial levels. That's far in excess of the 1. 5 degrees rise the world had hoped to remain below.

Meanwhile, our attention is drawn by war in Gaza and Ukraine, and elections at home and in the US.
