Is climate change on the ballot paper in 2024?

2024 will see billions of voters head to the polls in a
record-breaking year for elections. It follows 2023 – another
record-breaking year for the climate... so could global warming
impact the way people vote? Or will it be eclipsed by the other
big issues that dominate news headlines, like inflation and the
cost of living, healthcare, education, and jobs.


In this episode, presenter Graihagh Jackson hears from voters all
over the world, and dives into research examining their
priorities and what motivates them when they’re at the ballot
box. She also finds out how climate change policies affected the
outcome of recent elections in the Netherlands and Australia.


Guests: Jessica Long, Head of Environmental, Social and
Governance Consulting at IPSOS UK Anna Holligan, BBC
correspondent in the Netherlands Noora Firaq, Deputy CEO of
Climate Outreach Phil Mercer, BBC correspondent in Australia
