Not another CLIMATE CHANGE episode!!! It is not news that change is happening! Temperatures are rising, we are seeing more and more droughts, wildfires and shifting rainfall patterns. Glaciers and snow are melting and there is a rise in global sea levels. Despite all the climate change campaigns, why are we still seeing a global temperature rise? Did the COVID-19 pandemic help? In this episode we discuss current roadblocks to achieving a 45% global reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030. We highlight feasible implementation strategies to improve collective efforts towards climate change mitigation.  

Why are we still seeing a global temperature rise?
