YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPatricia Espinosa is the Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change, with perhaps one of the toughest jobs in the world. She is responsible for steering 197 countries toward tackling the greatest challenge facing humanity. No small task.
In the latest episode of our podcast, we sat down with Ms. Espinosa to look back at what the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 26) accomplished and look ahead at the key climate change priorities in 2022.
She speaks about her career journey from ambassador of her home country of Mexico to the head of UN Climate Change, and why multilateralism is so important to her.
She explains where we stand in global efforts to tackle climate change and what needs to happen next to ensure we can limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (197 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system, in a time frame which allows ecosystems to adapt naturally and enables sustainable development.
