Recorded live at The Spectator Energy Summit 2025, this episode brings an inside look at one of the most pivotal climate negotiations of the century. Our host, Alex Wolfe, has a fireside chat with former Energy Secretary and Home Secretary Amber Rudd to revisit the drama, diplomacy and scientific urgency behind the Paris 2015 climate agreement. 

Amber reflects on the tense international negotiations, the race to keep 1.5°C alive and the political pressures shaping each decision. With stories from world leaders, diplomatic standoffs and last-minute breakthroughs, she reveals what the world must learn ten years on.
