About Historians For Future

Historians for Future (H4F) support the climate movement by providing a historical perspective on the climate and biodiversity crisis we are facing. Climate change is not only a scientific issue. It’s a human problem, bound up in questions of social justice and human values, and we believe that the humanities can help to solve it. This is the podcast arm of an ongoing commitment to open up conversations and resources for a wider audience. The climate change visualisations we use for this podcast were made by Emanuele Bevacqua.
