For our twelfth and final episode, Luke, Matt and Sarah discuss the historic final agreement to “transition away” from fossil fuels – but an agreement that nonetheless has loopholes for carbon capture, gas as a transition fuel and fossil subsidies.

The edie trio are then joined by a live special guest in the form of Sally Uren, chief executive of the international sustainability non-profit Forum for the Future, who gives her take on the agreement and what it means for UK businesses.

We then close off the show with a final game of “good COP, bad COP” to discuss the highlights – and lowlights of this year’s summit, before preparing ourselves for the Christmas wind down.
