This week I look back at the 22 episodes published this year and pick out some themes, stories and updates.

Sustainability is an immensely broad issue and climate change must come at the very top. Waste, energy and low carbon solutions for transport are all linked as well. And what are VW shooting at in Mexico?

COP24 opens in Katowice, Poland with a keynote from Sir David Attenborough. What will these two weeks bring? And a look at water. Warm water, cold water and salty water. Could another Little Ice Age be on its way?

This week I'm looking at population, and like many other sustainability issues it is broad, deep and complicated. What do you think we could, or should, do about growing world population? Other sustainability news from the US, Canada, France and North Somerset. Links to my sources on the blog (which will be published in the course of the morning) at www.sustainablefutures.report.

This week's episode is about climate change - by far the most important issue facing us now, although it's far from the forefront of politics and it doesn't seem to excite the media very much. I talk about what we should do. What the Climate Change Commission suggests we should do. What Extinction Rebellion (who they?) demands we should do. What the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change wants us to do. And there's a reminder from the IPCC of what will happen if we don't do anything, or don't do it quickly enough. There are some notes on coal, oil and wind, and bad news from the Amazon. There's news from France that people may not think that what's good for the climate is good for them.

Climate Change and what we should do about it.

Listen up to hear about electric insights, geothermal engineering, dams, fracking, the plug-in hybrids that aren't, new rules on waste, threats to environmental legislation, how nuclear power may be the future but Toshiba wants no part of it and a strange Icelandic saga - but that's by no means all!
