Any Questions On... the Environment

Available for over a year

Any Questions turns 75 in October 2023. To mark the occasion, Alex Forsyth is joined by guests to discuss how the way panellists debate has changed - how language, attitudes and perspectives have shifted throughout the programme's history. How have our fears and preoccupations shifted? Are arguments made differently now? Alex explores how perhaps more than in most other topics, language around the climate and the environment has changed quite considerably in the last 75 years. Alex Forsyth is joined by the Conservative peer and former Chair of the Committee on Climate Change Lord Deben, broadcaster, historian and former host of Any Questions Jonathan Dimbleby and the Green Party MP Caroline Lucas to delve into the Any Questions archive. Together, they examine how the answers of panellists throughout Any Questions history reveal changing anxieties and understanding of environmental change.
