Listen "What’s at stake as COP30 begins on the edge of the Amazon rainforest"
Episode Synopsis
The 30th UN climate conference will begin this week. Nations will gather in Belem, Brazil for COP30 – and while the Trump administration isn’t intending to send anyone, the US could still become the thorn in any deals side. So, as the world’s brightest climate minds converge on the city that sits on the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest – experts are asking whether anything substantial will come from these negotiations. Today on The Front Page, University of Otago associate professor Daniel Kingston is with us to discuss how important COP is, and why we should care.
