COP28: What鈥檚 the deal?

Nearly 200 countries have agreed a new global deal on climate change.

Nearly 200 countries have agreed a new global deal on climate change at COP28 in Dubai. It鈥檚 the biggest step forward on climate since the Paris Agreement in 2015.

Our Climate and Science reporter, Esme Stallard, walks us through the details of the deal. What could mean for our futures?

We also hear from three 麻豆社 Monitoring journalists: Rupsha Mukurjee, who covers India; Padmaja Venkataraman, who reports on China; and Rose Njiroge, who covers sub-saharan Africa. What scores out of 10 does this COP get from India, China and Africa?
