A non-emergency podcast about the climate emergency

Plus is the government wrecking its own planning bill? And we speak to Tom Copley about building homes in London

On The Abundance Agenda this week:

  • Why the government might be messing up its own Planning and Infrastructure Bill – and why it appears to be giving ground to Big Nature.

  • Why declaring a ‘climate emergency’ is just a pointless vanity exercise if you don’t actually do anything.

  • Plus we speak to Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development about a new fund to help finance housing in London, why Sadiq Khan changed his mind on the green belt – and whether London can meet it’s housing targets. (Plus some nerdy train chat, of course.)

James’s piece on the Planning Bill amendments and why the government might screw it up is here.

Martin’s piece on climate emergencies will be here.

James’s other piece on the vacuum where Starmerism should be – and how Abundance can fill it, is here.

Don’t forget to tell your friends about the pod – and leave us a nice review on Apple Podcasts!

The Abundance Agenda is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and hopefully wherever you get your podcasts!

You can find James on Bluesky here, and Martin here.
