And to that, we have to rethink economics. To understand their argument, we talk to Kate Raworth, an Oxford economist, and author of the book Doughnut Economics, about what economics gets right, what it gets wrong, what it needs to do differently to help sustain human life on this planet. They say that if we're going to have any hope of addressing climate change we need to rethink our relationship to the economy - which is often how we measure a country's well being. But some climate activists have long said that those politicians have it all wrong. And they've used economics, the dismal science, to support their argument. For decades politicians and other leaders have said that acting on climate change comes at too high a cost - to jobs, to business, to the economy.
