BBC World Service - Business Matters, China and US agree to boost climate co-operation

The two countries released a joint declaration promising action

China and the US have agreed to boost climate co-operation over the next decade, in a surprise announcement at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. The two countries released a joint declaration promising action. We get reaction from Jess Shankleman, an energy and environment specialist at Bloomberg. Afghanistan's ex-finance minister has blamed the government's fall on corrupt officials who invented "ghost soldiers" and took payment from the Taliban. We have an in-depth interview with Khalid Payenda. Plus, electric carmaker Rivian Automotive started trading on the Nasdaq exchange today. Shares in the company soared, boosting the market value of the firm to $100bn. The BBC's North America business correspondent Michelle Fleury has been following the story. 

All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Tech journalist Takara Small in Toronto and Jyoti Malhotra, senior consulting editor at The Print, in Delhi.
