COP26: Another last chance to save the planet?

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

As world leaders gather in Glasgow in Scotland for the UN鈥檚 global climate conference, COP26, we ask if a new project partnering with the private sector will help save the Amazon rainforest, or whether it鈥檚 simply another way for the corporate sector to pay away its guilt. Plus, we hear from a youth delegate to the last big climate conference in Paris 鈥 what is she hoping for this time round? And, can electric freight vessels help global shipping to go green? We hear how a Norwegian company is working on one. We also look at the fight against plastic waste and how the world鈥檚 recycling systems simply aren鈥檛 working. And they鈥檙e big, glamorous and they involve hundreds of people. But are the days of the big Indian wedding over? Business Weekly is produced by Matthew Davies and presented by Tamasin Ford.
