Another year has come to an end. In 2022, we saw a number of events unfold across the globe that further emphasized the need to address the climate crisis with greater urgency and accelerate the transition to clean energy. This is Part Two of our look back of the year with some of the biggest newsmakers we spoke to in 2022. We'll review the second of the year and some of the biggest developments in the climate fight to happen in 2022 - from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act to establishment of an international loss and damage fund to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and critical elections around the globe.

Featuring excerpts from our 2022 interviews with White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy, Bill McKibben, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Sen. Tina Smith, Rep. Ro Khanna, David Roberts, Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Saleemul Huq, Harjeet Singh, Brian Tyler Cohen, Gernot Wagner, Mitzi Jonelle Tan, Oliver Milman, and Norwegian Climate Minister Espen Barth Eide.
