Summary

As global leaders jet out of Glasgow, leaving the hard bargaining to their delegates, Business Weekly looks at what the pledges made so far really mean. Will rich countries be able to support the financial demands made of developing nations to help them transition away from fossil fuels? And what did activists make of Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s promise of reaching net-zero by 2070? Also on the programme, we hear why some people enjoy trophy hunting - and whether it can ever be a useful tool for conservation. And as an inquest names a haul of Anglo-Saxon coins one of the biggest ever found in England, we ask what happens to treasure after it’s discovered. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.

Glasgow tasked with trying to save the planet.

I believe that we can resolve the outstanding issues. We can move the negotiations forward.

1:05.3

And we can launch a decade of ever-increasing ambition and action.

1:13.1

Glasgow must start a decisive decade of action so we can keep a limit of 1.5 degrees within

1:19.7

the reach of us in the rest of the world. We must come together in a collective coming of age.

1:25.7

We must show that we have the maturity and wisdom to act.

1:31.8

Each time, you know, hopes are high,

1:35.5

but the results are always greatly underwhelming.

1:38.5

Even before we begin talking about new commitments,

1:42.2

let's see you fulfill those pledges that you have already made

1:46.5

and declared to the world.

1:49.8

We can have all these world leaders flying in on their private jets and, you know, all these

politicians.
