Hello,

Carbon Brief has just published an in-depth interview with Prof Penny Endersby, chief executive of the UK Met Office.

Endersby took the reins at the UK’s climate and weather service in 2018, after more than two decades working for the science and technology arm of the Ministry of Defence.

Sitting down with me at Carbon Brief’s London offices, she spoke about her career to date and how the Met Office is helping prepare the UK for climate change.

We also discussed the upcoming assessment cycle of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, how advances in AI could transform climate modelling, as well as the Met Office’s strategy for tackling climate misinformation. 

The interview is also available to watch via our YouTube channel, or listen via SoundCloud.

I hope you enjoy the conversation.
