Utilising both technology and nature is essential if we are to achieve the targets set out by the Paris agreement and secure a stable and liveable future for all. But with the stakes so high, will nature-based solutions or technology offer the most effective means for addressing the climate crisis? A concept taken from Charles Mann's book, “The Wizard and the Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Duelling Visions to Shape Tomorrow’s World”, which describes the perspectives of Wizards (who see technology as the solution) and Prophets (who believe in behavioural change) is what has inspired our debate format. Two teams deliberate on the role of nature vs technology in the fight against climate change to determine which is most effective.
