On this episode of Electric Evolution, Liz Allan dives into the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report with Richard Allan, who was a lead author in a new chapter on the water cycle. They discuss the approval process that involved 150 government representatives, the buy-in from each country, and the motivation to act on the report's findings. Liz Allan joins us to share her family's journey towards sustainability and her mission to educate people about climate change's positive aspects. They delve into the main causes of climate change, what net-zero emissions mean, and the urgent need for technological and nature-based solutions. They also discuss how personal actions, government laws, and frameworks can contribute to reaching the theoretical goal of a carbon-free world. Join them as they explore the science behind climate change and the urgent need to act now.

Richard Allan Bio:
Richard Allan is a Professor of Climate Science with a passion for the weather that started in his childhood. Growing up in St. Albans during a famously snowy winter, he became fascinated with the science behind predictions, which led him to study mathematics and physics before pursuing a PhD at the University of Reading. Richard has since become an expert in his field, working for both the Met Department at the University of Reading and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and he continues to share his knowledge as a professor at the University of Reading.
