COP 26: Should we rethink our economic priorities?

In just over a month world leaders will meet for a decisive climate change summit.

In just over a month world leaders will meet for a decisive climate change summit - we鈥檒l ask if politicians are willing to accept the end of exponential economic growth in order to protect the planets resources. We鈥檒l hear why gas prices are spiralling and ask why small energy firms weren鈥檛 better prepared to withstand rising prices. As a new high speed train line is planned for Egypt we鈥檒l take a close look at this new infrastructure project and ask if it will help deliver new prosperity to a country dogged by economic troubles. And, we鈥檒l hear from the song writers campaigning for clear credits on streaming platforms. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Gareth Barlow.
