This episode explores Nationally Determined Contributions and the implementation of climate targets. It asks: is the big talk backed up by action?The clip at the beginning of the episode is Patricia Espinosa, who is, until July this year, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, speaking at the Bonn Climate Change Conference in June 2022.
