Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Rob.
In this program, we'll be discussing climate change and teaching you some useful vocabulary so you can talk about it too.
Such as emitters, a word used to describe countries,
industries or just things that produce harmful substances that harm the environment.
Substances such as carbon dioxide, an example of a greenhouse gas, these gases contribute to our warming planet.
And we're going to be discussing whether the world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, the USA and China, can work together for the good of the environment.
But a question for you first, Rob.
In November this year, world leaders are due to meet at a climate conference in which city will this be taking place?
Is it a, Brisbane, B, Glasgow or C,
Vienna?
Well, I've heard about this so I think it's the Scottish city of Glasgow.
Okay, Rob, I'll tell you if you are right or wrong later.
Let's talk more about climate change then.
Back in 2015, world leaders met in Paris.
It was the first time virtually all the nations of the world came together to agree they all needed to tackle the issue.
Under the terms of the Paris deal, countries promised to come back every five years and raise their carbon-cutting ambitions.
