Baku has just hosted its second Climate Action Week — five days of discussions on how to turn pledges into practice.
From hydrogen energy and resilient agriculture to youth innovation and the arts, the event united voices from government, business, academia, and civil society around one urgent goal: accelerating real climate solutions.
In this NewsHour Special, Guy Shone sits down with Malini Mehra — Chief Executive of GLOBE International and Curator of Baku Climate Action Week — to explore what made this year’s gathering different. She reflects on how inclusion, skills, and cultural engagement are redefining climate action beyond diplomacy, and why the South Caucasus could become a hub for practical climate leadership.
Filmed in Baku, the conversation offers rare insight into how global networks and local initiatives are converging to shape tomorrow’s climate agenda.
