Hello and welcome to Business Matters here on the BBC World Service.
I'm Rahul Tanden.
On the program today, is climate change finance really working for us?
It's a fight for survival.
It's not about finding money to create shiny new projects.
It's literally a fight for survival on the ground.
And what is happening with one of the world's most famous fashion companies, Chanel.
In its hundred or so year history, there have really only been two chief creative directors who have defined Chanel as we know it today.
I'll be joined throughout the program by two guests on opposite sides of the world.
We have Memal Sofraz, co founder of the current pk, journalist and analyst, somebody I'm sure who dresses up in some of the world's best fashion brands like Chanel.
Memal, hello and good morning.
Rahul, good morning to you.
We're going to be talking a lot about the current situation in Lahore and we've also got Tony Nash, CEO of Complete Intelligence.
We're going to need some of that intelligence because there is a lot happening in the US at the moment, isn't it?
It's great to be here.
Thank you.
