With some European leaders boycotting the COP 29 summit, opening in Baku today days after the re-election of Donald Trump as US president, who has compared climate change to a hoax, Radio Schuman talked with Euronews science reporter Jeremy Wilks about the prospects for the conference.

With thousands of leaders, diplomats, climate experts, NGOs and journalists beating a path to the United Nations Climate talks in the Azeri capital, is there a real chance of success in their mission to hash out a new financial plan to develop clean energy and overcome the repercussions of extreme weather?

We also take a quick look at the agenda today, with the European Parliament set to decide the fate of one nominee for the European Commission who's candidature has still not met with their approval - guess who?
