The Paris agreement is having its 5th birthday tomorrow so you’ll be hearing a lot about it, and a lot about achieving net zero emissions by 2050 which is something our government haven’t committed to yet despite being a signatory to the Paris climate agreement.
In today's episode we’ll explain what the Paris agreement actually is and go back to basics with Andrew Higham who helped draft the agreement. Andrew is currently CEO of an organisation called Mission 2020 which works with big business to help reduce their carbon footprint.
