Gaia Vince - How Can Cities Save Humanity?


Listen Later

In this episode we speak to Gaia Vince; Guardian journalist, Scientist, Author, and Broadcaster.

Gaia spent 2 years researching her first book, Adventures in the Anthropocene’ by travelling, largely in the global South, witnessing the impact humanity has had on the world.

In her latest book ‘Nomad Century’, Gaia sets out how we need to start planning now for the impact of climate change on global migration, as many parts of the world become uninhabitable.
