During this hour I guest host "The Leslie Marshall Show."

I'm joined by Han Chen, the International Climate Advocate with the Natural Resource Defense Council’s International and Climate & Clean Air programs.

We discuss COP21, which is a crucial Climate Conference of 195 countries taking place at the end of this month. The goal of the conference is "to achieve a legally binding agreement, with universal participation among all nations, to keep global warming below what most scientists say is the critical threshold of 2 degrees Celsius of warming."

Han and I also discuss an article she wrote for the NRDC where she gave the countries that are participating in the conference 'Report Cards.' The report cards evaluate each country's national climate pledge ahead of COP21.
