Planet Hope

Each day we watch as rising temperatures, extreme weather and extinctions are accepted as the new normal. The list of bleak headlines feels endless. It’s no wonder hope is wavering. But all is not lost.

In this podcast series, Adam Vaughan, Environment Editor for The Times, asks why our planet is changing so rapidly and meets leading experts from around the world who are trying to change the tide.

This is Planet Hope, a podcast from The Times in partnership with Rolex and its Perpetual Planet Initiative. Rolex supports individuals and organisations who go above and beyond to safeguard and preserve our planet for the next generation. The Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative is rapidly expanding and now has a portfolio of more than 20 partners.
