Here in northern Europe we've had some very odd weather events in the last few months, including torrential rainfall and deadly floods – which scientists say are a direct consequence of climate change. It's something to focus the mind as leaders and negotiators meet in Glasgow at the United Nations climate summit known as COP26.
The overarching question is: will world leaders commit to policy changes that will have a real impact on slowing global warming?
It's a multifaceted issue, so in this programme we're focusing on one major battleground that's playing out in Europe: whether nuclear power should be considered a green energy source. We discuss the issue with three MEPs.
