As well as reducing our CO2 emissions, capturing carbon from the atmosphere could be another way to limit climate change. Hear leading scientists and environmental journalists explore the many aspects of carbon capture, including reforestation and rewilding, as well as a range of industrial methods.
We'll be discussing whether this approach offers a solution to the unfolding climate crisis or if it simply offers a false sense of security.
