The politics might change, but the science is clearer than ever. The planet is warming - and even faster than predicted - due to the emission of greenhouse gases. Faced with the facts, where do businesses, policymakers, and the rest of us go from here?

We get the latest in climate science from Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and hear from Sumant Sinha, the head of India-based renewable energy company ReNew, on the outlook for business.

The episode is co-hosted by Pim Valdre, head of the World Economic Forum's Climate Ambition Initiative and leader of the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders.
