The ‘last hope’ for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. That is what November’s UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) is being called. With one UN chief describing the recent IPCC Report as a ‘code red for humanity’, all eyes are now on Glasgow to see if world leaders can unite in the face of climate change.
At the same time, breakthroughs and innovations in technology, travel, food production and the way we do business are already yielding results or showing promise as solutions to reduce emissions and limit environmental damage. During this special recording, you’ll hear a series of 1-on-1 exclusive interviews from the BBC’s Science Editor David Shukman, Global Trade Correspondent Dharshini David, renowned ethnobotanist and Follow The Food presenter James Wong, The Travel Show presenter Rajan Datar and Click technology presenter Lara Lewington.
