The live music industry generates billions of pounds for the UK economy, but it racks up a lot of carbon emissions too.

According to Clean Scene, the average touring DJ emits 35 tonnes of C02 per year, 17 times higher than is recommended per person.

Ross Patel runs Whole Entertainment, which prioritises culture, social justice and climate action, working with its artists to encourage them to use their influence for good.

Pauline and Ross join Harriet Robinson to discuss the problems within the music industry, the efforts that are being made to change them and how the industry is in a unique position to be able to influence further action.
