Interview with Dr Kris De Meyer, Director of the UCL Climate Action Unit

This week, join Apella Advisors' Jenny Scott and Andrew Brown for a fascinating discussion with Dr Kris De Meyer, director of the UCL Climate Action Unit and neuroscientist at King's College London. On the surface, this is a curious blend of disciplines, yet it is allowing Dr. Kris and his team to explore the whole domain of climate action and specifically how to enable people to change and act for the better. The central thesis of his work is that conventional wisdom of understanding, awareness and concern driving action and change is flawed and that the way we communicate on climate change (and other subjects), needs to change.    We’d love to hear what you think.
