How two historic elections will reshape climate policy

The world has seen two historic elections in the past few weeks. First in Brazil, where President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win a fourth term. Then in the US, where a “blue tsunami” led to the Democratic party winning both the House and Senate. So what does this all mean for climate and energy policy and for negotiations at COP31? Bloomberg’s Jennifer A Dlouhy and Fabiano Maissonave join Akshat Rathi on a special episode of Zero recorded on the sidelines of this year's climate talks in Antalya, Turkey.
