After Trump, will the EU show real leadership on Paris climate agreement?
Following President Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement, we sat down with Bas Eickhout, Green spokesperson on climate change, to discuss what this decision will mean for the fight against climate change. European leaders have rightly condemned Trump’s decision, but are they doing enough to deliver against their own Paris promises? We also take a look ahead to the next big UN climate conference, COP 23, which will be help in Bonn in November.

Rebecca Harms – a interview on the reasons behind her fight against nuclear energy
Rebecca Harms – a short but deeply personal interview on the reasons behind her fight against nuclear energy.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl catastrophe, one of the worst accidents of modern history.
On 26th April 1986, technicians conducting a test inadvertently caused reactor number four to explode. Hundreds of staff and firefighters then tried to stop a fire that burned for 10 days and sent a cloud of radiation around the world. Many people lost their lives.
Authorities evacuated 120,000 people from the area, but the effects - both on local inhabitants and people all across Europe - have been disastrous. And despite all the years that have passed, the problems are still a long way from being solved...
It was this horrible accident that changed the career path that Rebecca Harms, now Co-president of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament, decided to embrace.
In this personal podcast, she discusses how she became an anti-nuclear activist and her decision to enter the political arena. She also explains why and how she is still managing to find such incredible energy to fight against what is certainly one the most dangerous and expensive energy sources of our time.
