Is environmental responsibility a personal duty or a national mandate?
In short: In this Royal Institution Unconference, environmentalist Hugh Montgomery examines the fragility of our ecosystems and the looming threat of climate change.
Hugh Montgomery explores the tension between individual behavior and national solutions in the face of a global crisis. He highlights the staggering resource cost of our diets, noting that producing just one kilogram of meat requires 15,000 litres of water.
A specialist in intensive care medicine and human physiology, Montgomery warns that ecosystems are highly vulnerable to pressure; he suggests that climate change could act as the final pulse that triggers a massive collapse.
