The [FP Virtual Climate Summit]( will convene government officials, industry leaders and issue experts to focus on viable paths to meet urgent climate targets. Join speakers including Icelandic Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir and Colombian President Iván Duque Márquez, as well as Senators Chris Murphy and Sheldon Whitehouse, on April 27 and 28, to discuss how we can galvanize the level of global action used to fight COVID-19 in the fight against climate change. As the coronavirus continues to impact nearly every part of our lives, FP Analytics continues to track the responses from governments worldwide with updates to the [COVID-19 Global Response Index]( which has been scoring countries’ responses since last August. FP Analytics has also released a new special report, [The Global Race to Vaccinate]( to provide a comparative summary of the leading vaccines currently being distributed. All readers are invited to join a [special event]( on Tuesday, March 30 at 11 a.m. EDT highlighting FP Analytics’ key takeaways: what worked in the fight against COVID-19, what didn’t, and why. Finally, we highlight the latest season of [Course Correction](, a podcast from Doha Debates with production assistance from Foreign Policy. In the series, host Nelufar Hedayat addresses polarizing issues by engaging with people whose opinions are very different from her own. The first episode of the new season, [available now]( for streaming and download, explores different responses to the pandemic, including in Sweden and the United Kingdom.

In the second season of Course Correction, host Nelufar Hedayat is taking on a new challenge: Listening to people she disagrees with. Each episode addresses one polarizing issue, and Hedayat will engage with people whose opinions are very different from her own—and try to keep an open mind. Guests this season include the “godfather of fake news,” a Swedish doctor who opposes lockdowns, a former head of state, and a French lawmaker who thinks it’s an act of feminism to tell women they can’t wear the hijab. Hedayat will challenge her own beliefs with discussions about race and reparations, COVID-19 policy, gender rights and religion, and so much more. The first episode of season two, plus all of season one, is available to stream or download wherever you listen to your podcasts.
