The climate and Covid-19: Who pays for government inaction?
Manage episode 305724751 series 2715120
This Sunday the UN climate summit Cop26 begins. World leaders will meet in Glasgow to try to agree new ways to solve the climate crisis. They must arrive ready to turn ambitious slogans into action, but who will deliver and who will pay the costs if they don’t?
Emily Tamkin in Washington and Alix Kroeger in London are joined by Philippa Nuttall in Brussels to discuss whether Cop26 will achieve the outcomes that the world needs.
Against the backdrop of surging Covid cases in southeastern Europe, they examine the relationship between vaccine scepticism and authoritarianism.
Then in You Ask Us, a listener asks about US relations with Iraq in the light of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
