A new satire from award winning writer Anita Sullivan, set at a fictional COP conference, with a talking Mosquito. Developed with leading climate scientists.

Peter is a hapless politician representing the UK at COP in Paris. Hoping to retire soon - he didn't really want this assignment, but now he's caught like a rabbit in the headlights between the fiercely intelligent business analyst who has taken the place of his usual PA, and the changing landscapes of contemporary politics and climate crisis speak. Will he talk absolute rubbish? Will he keep his job? Will he sell our children's future to the highest bidder? What is African Horse Flu? And can anyone else hear that whining voice?
