The World Ahead from The Economist

The world ahead: Small COP, big COP

Listen Later

On the eve of the 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25) in Madrid, we ask what delegates hope to achieve. Also, how can online games help in the fight against fake news? And host Tom Standage interviews an artificial intelligence called GPT-2 about its views on the big themes of 2020. 


Music by Chris Zabriskie "Candlepower" (CC by 4.0)
