Against the backdrop of COP 26, global media attention on climate change is at an all-time high. To discuss the news media's handling of the story - as well as just how dire the climate crisis is - we speak with Professor Jim Skea of Imperial College in London, a senior figure on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Jim Skea is one of the leaders of the IPCC's working group three, the group that calculates emissions from energy systems, transportation, and other sectors of the economy. This group is on the front line of what climate change means globally and what it will take to stop it. He's also the co-author of the 2018 special report on 1.5 degrees.

At the end of April, the Council of Europe and its partners released its annual report on the and the message is clear: actions are urgently required.
To understand this growing crisis facing the industry we have invited Peter ter Velde, long time journalist and now security coordinator at NOS in the Netherlands, Deputy Director of the International Press Institute, Scott Griffin, and Julie Haas a representative from the OCSE with a message from Teresa Ribeiro, the fifth Representative on Freedom of the Media.
