The Big Green Money Guide to COP, with the UK Climate Change Committee

The UK Climate Change Committee is in charge of "marking the government's homework" on climate change. So, with COP 27 around the corner, is the UK on track to meet its targets?

World leaders are descending on Egypt for this year's COP climate change talks.
So what is COP? Why does it matter? And is the UK on target to keep its own promise to reach net zero by 2050?

Deborah and Fliss put all those questions and more to Chris Stark who, leads the UK Climate Change Committee which holds the government to account.

They also talk to the boss of wind turbine maker Siemens Gamesa. The company's been building wind farms for decades but inflation, politics and bureaucracy mean they're not making a profit.

And what was it like to live and work in Glasgow last year when COP 26 came calling? Deborah and Fliss meet the small business building on COP's big legacy.
