  • 8 years ago
Eve Irvine hosts two special guests. Karmenu Vella is the European Commissioner for the Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. He has put recycling on the agenda of the Paris climate talks with a raft of new waste targets to cut emissions, calling on other countries to follow the EU’s lead. Under the new goals, by 2030 European countries will have to recycle 65% of their municipal rubbish and 75% of their product packaging.
Eve Irvine also speaks to the president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Sir Suma Chakrabarti. The EBRD is supporting many projects on sustainable energy in the EU, the Balkans and also Turkey.
