Moving away from the use of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas has been a major talking point at the COP 26 climate conference. Two coal mine workers in the United States and Canada discuss their concerns for their jobs, families and businesses within their communities. They are unhappy that coal is being painted as the 鈥渆vil thing鈥� and that all will be better if you get rid of it. They tell us at the moment they are working six days a week and can鈥檛 get enough coal out.

Host Nuala McGovern, meanwhile, also brings together professional athletes: a climber, ice climber and skier, who have witnessed, first hand, the detrimental effects of climate change on their outdoor sports and the natural landscapes.

We also discuss fashion and its impact on the planet. Three women in India, Portugal and the UK, who all run businesses specialising in sustainable fashion, tell us how we can achieve a more climate friendly wardrobe.
