Blackouts and power outages are happening in Texas just as climate activists in the United States celebrate the country’s re-entry into the Paris Climate Accord. After a year of grounded flights and limited travel, global emissions are barely lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic. And the disastrous effects are clear, not just in the US, but around the world. In today’s episode we’re asking, is the Paris Agreement doing enough to protect the planet?

In this episode:

Dr. Richard Munang (@RichardMunang), UN African regional climate change coordinator; Kofi Mawuli Klu, joint chief coordinator for the Extinction Rebellion International Solidarity Network (@XRIntSol); Dina Kesbeh (@dinakesbeh), The Take producer
