ClimateCast with Tom Heap

Will solar farms land us with a climate solution?


Listen Later

On this week's episode of ClimateCast with Tom Heap, we're talking about land, and how our demands of it have exploded.

We don’t have much spare in the UK – we need to grow food, nurture wildlife, house a growing population, and now, with a focus on climate change, create green energy, including solar farms.

This week Tom Heap visits Oxfordshire, to a site that could become the UK's largest solar farm. He speaks to those for and against the development as well as also visiting a neighbouring solar farm, which does more than just generate electricity.

Plus in the studio he's joined by Lydia Collas, from the Green Alliance, who explains how the UK needs to take a multi-functional approach to land use if it wants to reach net-zero.
