On this edition of Your Call's media roundtable, we'll discuss what's been accomplished at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.
So far, nations have pledged to protect forests, cut methane gas emissions and phase out coal. Last month, the UN reported that we are on track for a catastrophic 2.7 degrees celsius rise by 2100. What is needed to address the climate emergency? What is the role of the media in highlighting the plight of those affected the most by the climate crisis?
