723 — It's a bosses' budget: Fight for workers' budgets! | Water | Sudan | Trump | More

The Labour government must tax the super-rich and polluters to fund our green transition and tackle the climate and nature emergencies, say the Scottish Greens.

Speaking ahead of today’s UK Budget statement, the party’s Co-leader, Lorna Slater, has urged the Chancellor to apply a wealth tax on the wealthiest 1% of households in the UK – those with assets worth £3.4 million and above.

I am delighted to welcome Dr. Minal Pathak to our podcast.

Dr. Minal Pathak is an Associate Professor at the Global Centre for Environment and Energy at Ahmedabad University, India. She served as a Senior Scientist with the IPCC Technical Support Unit from 2017-2023, contributing to the ‘Global Warming of 1.5°C’ and ‘Climate Change and Land’ reports, and co-editing the Sixth Assessment Report and the 2023 Synthesis Report. She also contributed to the UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2023. Dr. Minal leads the South Asia Hub of the Urban Climate Change Research Network in collaboration with Columbia University’s Earth Institute. Her research focuses on climate change mitigation in urban areas, transport, and buildings, with an emphasis on co-benefits and development. She is an Associate Editor for Climate and Development journal.

In this episode, Dr. Minal Pathak will share valuable insights from her research on "The High Price of High Life: How Luxury Affects Climate and Society."

This episode dives into the intricate relationship between luxury lifestyles, climate change, and societal impacts. We explore how high-end consumption, from fashion to travel, contributes disproportionately to environmental degradation through resource-intensive practices and excessive carbon emissions. We’ll also discuss the societal divide created by luxury consumption, highlighting issues like economic inequality and unsustainable aspirations. How can the luxury industry balance exclusivity with responsibility? What role can consumers play in demanding ethical and eco-friendly practices?

Join us as we unravel these pressing questions and discuss the shift toward sustainable luxury, where elegance meets accountability.
