Description:

In a few weeks' time, world leaders meet for the COP26 UN Climate Conference in Scotland, where they will try to agree on a plan to reduce emissions and prevent catastrophic temperature rises. Between now and then, we'll be covering the climate crisis on this podcast every week. Today, we're tracing the origins of the climate crisis: where it went wrong and what can be learned from the failure to do anything until now, when it's almost too late. 


Guest: Alice Bell, co-director at the climate change charity Possible and author of Our Biggest Experiment: A History of the Climate Crisis.


Presenter: Conor Pope


Produced by Declan Conlon, Jennifer Ryan and Suzanne Brennan


Opening music by Hugh Rodgers
