A climate special on Talking  Business Weekly.

If the world is to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, companies, governments and consumers must dramatically accelerate their climate action plan. 

This week - a climate special on Talking  Business Weekly. If the world is to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, companies, governments and consumers must dramatically accelerate their climate action plan. The first test of our global efforts will be at the CPOP26 Summit in the UK in November. So how are we doing? We hear from Christiana Figueres, the architect of Paris climate deal and co-founder Global Optimism. Plus, what are oil and gas giants doing to help curb emissions? We discuss this with Shell's Maarten Wetselaar and activist investor Mark van Baal, founder of Follow This, who is forcing change at oil majors. Finally, how do you become a climate activist? Ugandan environmental campaigner Vanessa Nakate tells us how.
