Ahead of a critical UNFCC climate change conference in Bonn in April 2013, this new video considers a dilemma that currently faces world leaders: How can a global deal be reached to tackle climate change? It explores some of the key choices to be made and looks in particular at the role of the EU in negotiating a new deal.
