As Poland weathers its first proper winter in years with the mercury dropping to over -20 degrees Celsius and snowfall covering much of the country, we turn our attention towards the climate in general.

Host John Beauchamp talks to Greenpeace Poland’s Joanna Flisowska about Poland’s energy mix and whether renewable energy is really worth it economically.

In the review this week:

• Poland warns of ‘appropriate steps’ after Russia expels diplomat for supporting ‘illegal protests’ over jailing of Alexei Navalny
• Poland has second biggest decline in smokers in EU
• Largest Gothic altar in the world finally revealed after five years painstaking renovation
• Poland among EU leaders in cumulative economic growth in past two years
