This month on Climate Conversations we have a special episode: emergency medicine doctors Callum and Johnny work on resuscitating not just one patient, but the entire planetary ecosystem.

Planet Earth has come to the Emergency Department in a critical condition and there's no time to waste. With dangerous levels of air pollution, rising global temperatures, escalating extreme weather events, threats to global food and water security and a rapidly closing window to act - this is a health emergency, beyond any doubt.

The episode features a special guest , the outstanding Professor Hugh Montgomery. Professor of Intensive Care Medicine at University College London and co-chair of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, Hugh is leading the healthcare world on climate action.

And for those listeners who don't have a healthcare background, fear not, because although we are using the analogy of a sick patient to frame this episode the subject matter is all climate related.

Enjoy!
