Sustainable Views: Age, gender and Jordan Peterson's influence

Evidence suggests that different ages and genders engage in varying degrees with climate change. Our latest episode's guests tackle how these factors can benefit or hinder progress - from young people’s tech nous to the influence of figures like psychologist Jordan Peterson, who has disputed climate science and has broadcast this message to a significant following.Mira Manini Tiwari, a research associate at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, and Akil Callender, youth lead at UN Sustainable Energy for All, talk to Alex about their activity and experience, and discuss the impact of disinformation on the young. Akil discusses his UN work and the organisation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals - also known as the SDGs - while Mira talks about the social theory that suggests a more collective mindset among women, and the relevance of this to climate change. As humanity continues to debate how it should tackle the climate crisis, policymakers may need to consider more bespoke approaches to the transition.
