Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne talks about his efforts to tackle global warming.

Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne tells Sarah Montague that an international treaty is required to tackle global warming, however that idea is losing favour around the world.

'Nothing less than a global deal will be good enough to tackle the problem of global warming' - says Britain's Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Chris Huhne. But when he leaves his offices here in Whitehall, to make that case at the UN Climate Change Conference in Durban, he's going to struggle to find other countries who agree with him. The idea of the world signing up to another international binding treaty - like the Kyoto Protocol - appears to be losing support rather than gaining it. So what should happen next? How do we cut the world's green-house gas emissions?
