Christiana Figueres - UNFCCC, Mission 2020

Straight from the Climate Change and Consciousness Conference, Robin talks to Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and convenor of Mission 2020 a shared global campaign to accelerate climate change action and reduce greenhouse emissions to protect the world’s most vulnerable communities.

Christiana spent 35 years as a senior international diplomat and was a significant figure in brokering the 2015 Paris Agreement.

Robin and Christiana talk about international leadership and the implication of the US pulling out of the Paris Agreement in 2020. Is this really the disaster it’s made out to be?

They discuss how top-down and grass roots leadership can combine to make an impact on important topics, like climate change.

They talk about the role that international government plays in working towards a carbon neutral planet.

If it can’t be the sole responsibility of the government, then who else must take action and what can we do as individuals?

A key discussion point includes, how leaders of businesses and communities can influence global corporates and their commercial decisions.

Over to Robin and Christiana…
