Waihiga Mwaura speaks to former US Secretary of State John Kerry
about why he thinks governments are retreating from efforts to
deal with climate change.

He spoke to the BBC during this year’s Our Ocean Conference, an
international forum which Kerry launched in 2014 to help protect
the world’s oceans.

He was the first US special presidential envoy for climate from
2021 to 2024, and since then has continued his work in climate
solutions.

With other world events in mind, Kerry helped negotiate a nuclear
deal with Iran as President Barack Obama's secretary of state and
we get his take on the current US-Iran conflict and subsequent
peace plan. Thank you to the Focus on Africa team for its help in
