Environment Weekly launch

In this our first show, as the UN climate change talks in Bali reach a critical stage, Guardian environment correspondent, David Adam, reports from Bali on what we can expect to come out of the talks. John Vidal, the Guardian's environment editor, and Larry Elliott, economics editor from the paper, are in the studio to discuss the key to achieving a post-Kyoto protocol to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

George Monbiot, writer and activist, explains why Bali is too little too late. And reporter, Annie Kelly, in Bangladesh, explains how the recent cyclone is only part of worsening climate instability effecting developing countries.

Peter Ainsworth, shadow environment spokesperson, is quizzed by John Vidal about the Conservative's 'green' energy plans. How does the government measure up?

Also, Observer ethical living columnist, Lucy Siegle, warns against buying cashmere this Christmas.

We also find out why one town in Britain is doing its bit to be more climate-friendly by making Tuesday's a car-free day. And Guardian Unlimited's Jessica Aldred offers tips for how to have a greener Christmas wherever you live.

Guardian Weekly is hosted by Alison Benjamin, acting environment editor at Guardian Unlimited.
