The State of Global Climate Talks (Live w/ Mary Robinson)

A Matter of Degrees

As we work on season 2, we're sharing a live episode of the show that we just recorded at the Bloomberg Green Summit.

The conversation is all about where things stand in the lead-up to global climate talks in the fall.

We were fortunate to get Mary Robinson, the former President of Ireland, to talk about this topic with us. Mary served as the President of Ireland from 1990-1997 and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights from 1997-2002. She’s now the chair of the Elders.

Mary has dedicated much of her career to solving the climate crisis. She’s the author of two moving memoirs, “Everybody Matters” which was from 2012 and “Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience and the Fight for a Sustainable Future,” was published in September 2018. She is also co-host of a podcast on the climate crisis, called “Mothers of Invention.”

In this episode, we go deep with Mary on what we can expect from this year's international climate negotiations.
