UN warns of the rise in global temperatures

UN: No credible path to limiting global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius or less

A UN report has revealed that there is now no credible path to limiting global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius or less -- a goal set in the Paris climate agreement. It warns that pledges by various governments last year would only reduce greenhouse gas emissions by less than one per cent (1%). We speak to US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry.

Also in the programme: Anti-government protests are continuing in Iran, six weeks after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody; and he issues around poverty in Brazil's presidential election.
