In this episode, Kate Cook discusses the distinctive and, in many ways, groundbreaking approach to climate justice adopted in Wales/Cymru.

Her guest is the leading campaigner Ruth Chambers OBE, senior fellow of Green Alliance and honorary professor of practice at UCL’s Centre for Law and the Environment as well as adviser to other organisations including River Action UK and the RSPB.

Ruth is widely recognised for her work on helping to shape the post-Brexit legal landscape for the environment.

Kate and Ruth discuss the implications of recent Welsh legislation in this area, as well as the 2015 Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act. Against ongoing concerns relating to legacies from Wales’s industrial past and the increasing impacts of climate change, how is Wales addressing climate justice and nature recovery in the broader context set by the 2015 Act?
