This week India & Heidi learn about 'the accountability trap' with Prof. Susan Park from the Sydney Environment Institute. What you'll learn:

• What incentives do states have to meet their agreed climate targets? (hint: not a lot)
• What happens if states don't meet these targets (hint: not a lot)
• What is the 'accountability trap'?
• How can we hold states responsible for not meeting these targets?

Also listen in at 17:48 to hear the sweet sweet voice of Sir David Attenborough as he calls out the Aus Gov for their lack of action on climate change.

Susan Park is Professor of Global Governance at the USYD and acting deputy director of the Sydney Environment Institute, where she focuses on how state and non-state actors use formal and informal influence to make the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) greener and more accountable.
