Helena joins me to discuss the things that will likely come up during COP26 and the UN Biodiversity Summit. We discuss why the commitment to keep rising global temperatures at a steady 1.5 Celsius is critical for many life forms in the ocean as well as the rest of the ecosystem. Helena also shares her thoughts on climate change funding and describes why governments will likely realign their climate finance goals.
