International Women's Day 60 second history - Kathleen Merritt

For Our Earth Week, Petersfield environmentalist Melanie Oxley updates us on COP16, not to be confused with the COP29 climate talks.

It's another gathering of international parties but centred on global biodiversity.

Melanie explains what's been happening, what the UK's contribution has been and how it plays out on the global stage. She also shares practical tips on we can all make a difference right here at home.

Melanie is speaking to Shine Radio volunteer George. Their conversation was recorded on 30 October.
