COP26: Live From The End Of The World

As the world banks its hopes on COP26, we talk live from the conference to the FT’s SIMON MUNDY about his astonishing and sobering book ‘Race For Tomorrow’ – a tour of the frontline of the climate struggle that reads like a thriller. Meanwhile the UK Government concentrates on the far bigger issue of fighting France over FISH. Of course he does! And we watch the BBC’s shocking documentary about the Washington insurrection of Jan 6, ‘Four Hours At The Capitol’.  • “For any reporter, this is the biggest story of the century” – SIMON MUNDY • “How do you fix a country’s climate when international travel is its biggest earner – and its biggest threat?” – ALEX ANDREOU  • “If you’re Johnson you make it about the French, not the deal you signed that’s now falling apart.” – MIATTA FAHNBULLEH • “The old climate war was simply denying the science. The new climate war is subtly arguing against any measures to mitigate climate change.” – SIMON MUNDY Buy ‘Race For Tomorrow’: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Simon-Mundy/Race-for-Tomorrow--Survival-Innovation-and-Profit-on-the-/25601978 Watch ‘Four Hours At The Capitol’: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0010tff https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex Andreou with Miatta Fahnbulleh and Arthur Snell.
