COP26 was eagerly observed, as the world anticipated the commitments that would arise to address the climate crisis. More than 130 heads of state descended on Glasgow to take part in what has been dubbed a critical summit for action on climate change. Simon Mundy joined us to forensically analyse the outcomes of the conference, as well as discuss likely economic consequences arising from it.
