Europe's latest heatwave is more than another spell of extreme weather — it's testing the world's climate ambitions.

Joining Juliet Mann on this edition of The Agenda are Dr Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service; Nick Mabey, Co-CEO of the independent climate think tank E3G; and Swenja Surminski, Professor in Practice at the LSE and Managing Director for Climate and Sustainability at global risk and insurance advisory firm Marsh.
