Episode Synopsis

As COP 28 kicks off in Dubai, our team sat down with Professor Simon Donner, host of the Podcast Pacific Voices (that highlights his engagement with the Pacific Island of Kiribati) and a Lead Author for the most recent 6th Assessment Report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Professor Donner joins your hosts Alessia and Gaurav and reflects on his time spent at COP 27 in Sharm-el-Sheikh last year. They connect this journey to the now ongoing COP 28 in Dubai and discuss some realistic expectations we could have from the Event, especially dealing with the much-awaited "operationalisation of a loss-and-damages fund".

This is Part 1 in our Environmental Policy series to commemorate the ongoing debate and discussion taking place at COP 28, and at dinner tables across the world, in the spirit of advancing further conversation on these crucial topics as the world heads towards a greater mean global temperature.
