In 1992, diplomats and scientists at the United Nations negotiated the first-ever treaty intended to tackle the climate change. This brought the issue to the forefront and led to a series of conferences that have occurred almost every year for the next 30 years.
Short Wave host Emily Kwong talks to freelance climate reporter, Dan Charles about how those at the conference wrote a clear and ambitious goal that they didn't even fully understand. Plus — why it rattled the fossil fuel industry.
This is part 2 of a two-part series. For part 1, check out "A Climate Time Capsule (Part 1): The Start of the International Climate Change Fight"

NPR's Book of the Day - The illusion and power of money in Hernan Diaz’s ‘Trust’
Money is all things... or it can become all things, says Hernan Diaz, author of Trust. In his new book, readers are presented with narratives on wealth, reality, and a woman set on separating fact from fiction. In an interview on Weekend Edition Saturday, Diaz told Scott Simon that he thought a lot about money in the writing of this book, particularly about its power to warp and test reality. And although he wanted this story to be about money and class, he also wrote a book that gives women agency in narratives they've often been erased from.

Consider This from NPR - How Abortion Laws Around The World Compare To The U.S.
Some countries in Latin America are expanding abortion rights. Other countries, like Poland, have all but outlawed the procedure. Meanwhile, health officials in Canada have signaled Americans would be welcome to seek abortion services across the border if they cannot access care at home.
All of that speaks to the reality that America's abortion debate is not happening in vacuum, and is being watched closely around the world.
Mary Louise Kelly spoke about how abortion laws around the world compare to those in the U.S., with NPR correspondents Mara Liasson in Washington D.C., Philip Reeves in Brazil, and Rob Schmitz in Germany.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Where Will You Live Under Chicago’s New Ward Map?
Will Chicago’s 36th Ward really resemble a ‘pool noodle’?
Enough members of Chicago’s City Council have reached a tentative compromise on the city’s ward remap, the full council still has to confirm the remap in a vote next week. If approved, it would take the issue off the June ballot and out of the hands of voters.
