Is climate change on the ballot paper in 2024?


Listen Later

2024 will see billions of voters head to the polls in a record-breaking year for elections. It follows 2023 – another record-breaking year for the climate... so could global warming impact the way people vote? Or will it be eclipsed by the other big issues that dominate news headlines, like inflation and the cost of living, healthcare, education, and jobs.

In this episode, presenter Graihagh Jackson hears from voters all over the world, and dives into research examining their priorities and what motivates them when they’re at the ballot box. She also finds out how climate change policies affected the outcome of recent elections in the Netherlands and Australia.

Guests:

Jessica Long, Head of Environmental, Social and Governance Consulting at IPSOS UK
Anna Holligan, BBC correspondent in the Netherlands
Noora Firaq, Deputy CEO of Climate Outreach
Phil Mercer, BBC correspondent in Australia
