Climate Quickie: Why climate change is a wicked problem

Ever feel totally overwhelmed by the climate crisis, and like it’s too complicated an issue to solve? That’s because it’s a wicked problem. An interdependent problem that can feel impossible to solve. We catch up with neuroscientist specialising in polarisation, Dr. Kris De Mejer, about what a wicked problem is, and how it can make you feel like you can’t drive change. Enjoyed this quickie? Listen to our full-length chat with Kris on why there’s much more to climate action besides reducing your carbon footprint: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/climate-curious-why-theres-much-more-to-climate-action-than-reducing-your-carbon-footprint/
