We look back at the inspiring speech given at the opening plenary of COP 26 by the Prime Minister of Barbados, Ms. Mia Mottley. Tom discusses the speech in terms of appraisal theory and Michael contrasts the representation of social actors here with that in the speeches of Boris Johnson that we looked at in episodes 1 and 2. We observe the great discomfort of other world leaders in the room.

Speech: Mia Mottley (at 1hr:20mins)
