  • The Smarter 7: A guide to Climate Change and COP26

    This is The Smarter 7. It’s a new occasional series from the creators of the Daily News podcast The Smart 7.

     

    We’ll look in more detail at a significant moment, or topic, providing clear and concise detail that gets you up to speed on the what, the why and the how.


    With COP 26 making headlines in the UK and globally, what are the key issues facing us now with climate change and what is COP26 all about?

     

    Our guests include:


    • Professor Dann Mitchell, Climate Scientist from University of Bristol
    • Chito Arceo Jr. Regional Coordinator for Youth Advocates for Climate Action in the  Philippines


    We’ll also hear from Boris Johnson, Sir David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg and more…

     

    The 7 Elements:

     

    7) What is so bad about climate change?

    6) What is the time-line we’re talking about here and why is timing so important now?

    5) Who is causing it and who is it affecting? 

    4) Does individual action make a difference?

    3) What is being done about it?

    2) What is COP?

    1) What are we likely to see as outcomes?

     

    Written and produced by Flora Zajicek for Daft Doris
