Rupert Read is a Lecturer in Philosophy at University of East Anglia and Chair of the Green House think tank.
Green House is trying to achieve climate justice through facing up to the realities affecting some communities and nations as a result of climate change, and how we all need to understand that each of us has an impact on the planet.
Rupert believes we must urgently act to reduce consumption and growth if we are to stay within planetary boundaries – do you agree or disagree?
