About this episode
The year’s biggest climate event is underway, with a number of challenges making it difficult for countries to deal with ever-increasing global warming. 2022 has seen a number of severe weather disasters, and issues like energy costs, food insecurity and debt aren’t making things easier.

This year is a crucial moment in the struggle against climate change. The main challenge is to stick to the limits set by the Paris Agreements. Signed in 2015 by 196 countries, they state that global warming mustn’t go over 1.5°C by 2050. Are the tensions due to the war in Ukraine? What’s meant by loss and damage?
