We’re talking global climate action with one of the world’s most prominent voices and activists in the movement, Christiana Figueres, the former Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change whose work on the Paris Agreement saw 195 nations sign the historic accord. In this episode, the UAE Mission to IRENA discusses the emergence of more women in diplomatic and STEM careers, the role of soft power in accelerating climate action and the reasons to be optimistic about the Paris Agreement’s impact on policymakers, as Dr. Nawal Al-Hosany, the UAE’s Permanent Representative to IRENA and Mrs. Figueres recall the highlights of a long friendship.
