The annual UN Climate Conference, COP30, concluded in Belem, Brazil, last week. The final text of the outcome did not mention "fossil fuels" at all, and did not strengthen financial commitments. However, voluntary plans announced by the COP30 President to create roadmaps to transition away from fossil fuels and to stop deforestation show some hope. In this episode of InFocus, we speak with Zerin Osho, director of India Programme at the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, to break down the results of COP30.

The COP30 climate talks in Belem wrapped up over the weekend, and reactions to the outcome were sharply divided. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, said “climate cooperation is still alive…we're undeniably still in it and we are fighting back.” Others said the COP had been another failure, with a final statement that amounted to “a form of climate denial”.To make sense of what really happened at COP30, and where the talks leave the global effort on climate change, host Ed Crooks is joined by three regular Energy Gang contributors who have been following the negotiations closely. Amy Harder is the national energy correspondent at the news service Axios, Lisa Jacobson is the president of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, and Simon Evans is deputy editor of the website Carbon Brief. Together they discuss the arguments over COP30's statement on fossil fuels, the rise of climate adaptation as a key priority, and hopes for increasing flows of capital to lower-income countries.A pledge to triple adaptation finance for developing countries by 2035 is attracting a lot of scrutiny. Lower-income countries are pushing for clear plans for delivery, not just vague aspirations. What could those plans look like? Another key issue is China's complicated role in the energy transition. It is leading the way in manufacturing and deploying low-carbon energy technologies. But it is still adding coal-fired generation capacity at a rapid pace. Does it make sense to see China as a climate leader?It is a complex picture. The world is still off track for the Paris Agreement's climate goals, even after the latest round of country pledges on emissions, known as Nationally Determined Contributions. But solar, wind and storage are still on declining cost trends, and are making significant progress in many countries.Finally, Ed speaks with Gianpiero Nacci, who's Managing Director for Climate Strategy and Delivery at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, for a focused discussion on climate finance. Gianpiero explains why multilateral development banks such as the EBRD are being asked to do more, what makes adaptation harder to fund than mitigation, and what the new COP30 to COP31 roadmap means for climate finance, as focus shifts to next year's meeting, which will be held in Turkey a year from now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

COP30, the big meeting where countries discuss climate change annually, has finished. This year it was hosted in the city of Belem in Brazil, in the Amazon forest, which is directly affected by it. The role of the two biggest emitters has also made headlines. The United States hasn't taken part in the talks and China has kept a very low profile. This summit has ended without a clear commitment to phase out fossil fuels and that has angered protesters and activists, who participated in demonstrations showing their opposition to this plan. We wrap up the highlights of COP30 with our resident climate expert, Georgina Rannard and also hear from Natalia Tsuyama, a Brazilian climate activists who shares with us how her first COP has been.

The COP30 climate summit has drawn to a close after two weeks of talks in the city of Belem, Brazil. Climate Change Minister Simon Watts spoke to Melissa Chan Green.

Ambitionen am Anfang, Enttäuschung am Ende – oder ist da noch mehr? Wir analysieren die Ergebnisse der Weltklimakonferenz mit Janina Schreiber, unserer Reporterin vor Ort in Brasilien. Größere Fortschritte haben die Ölstaaten und andere mal wieder blockiert. Und doch findet Janina, dass wir auch einiges mitnehmen können aus den zwei Wochen in Belém an der Mündung des Amazonas. Feedback, Fragen, Ideen? Schreibt uns gerne an klimaupdate@ard.de. Weltklimakonferenzen bringen doch eh nichts? Kommt drauf an. In einer dreiteiligen Staffel des Podcasts „Die Entscheidung“ geht es um das Pariser Klimaabkommen. Wie kam es zu der Einigung, die heute als historischer Durchbruch in der Klimadiplomatie gilt? Und warum fällt es so schwer, die damaligen Vereinbarungen wirklich einzuhalten? Hier geht's zu unserem Podcast-Tipp: https://1.ard.de/die-entscheidung-klima-update Und in unserem Newsletter “ARD Klima-Update” werfen wir einen tieferen Blick auf die Rolle der EU bei der Weltklimakonferenz.

In the West Bank, record levels of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians are unfolding with little mainstream coverage. The few journalists who try to report on it often face attacks themselves. When the violence is covered, the settlers are often framed as fringe actors, despite clear backing from the Israeli state. A de facto annexation is under way in the West Bank, and yet much of the international media continues to look away. Contributors: Ben Reiff – Senior editor, +972 Magazine Jasper Nathaniel – Journalist Leila Warah – Bethlehem-based journalist Mariam Barghouti – Ramallah-based journalist On our radar As the rhetoric coming out of the Trump administration calling for the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro intensifies, much of the United States media is echoing that language. And with journalists branding Venezuela a “narco-state,” critics warn that the news media - much like in the lead-up to the Iraq War - is making the case for US military intervention. Defossilising the truth: Fighting fossil fuel disinformation As the COP30 climate summit in Belem wrapped up this week, we spoke with UN Special Rapporteur on climate change and human rights Elisa Morgera about a major barrier to real climate action: disinformation. Her latest report lays out how climate justice activists and policymakers are battling decades of coordinated greenwashing by some of the world's biggest fossil fuel companies - efforts that continue to delay and undermine meaningful progress at this critical moment. Featuring: Elisa Morgera – UN Special Rapporteur on climate change and human rights

Es kommt gerade knüppeldick für Friedrich Merz. Die eigene Parteijugend will die Rentenpläne der schwarz-roten Koalition torpedieren – eine Lösung im Machtpoker ist bislang nicht in Sicht. Dabei ist der Rentenstreit zwar das aktuell gewichtigste Problem für Friedrich Merz, aber beileibe nicht sein einziges. Vor paar Wochen erst hatte der Kanzler mit seinem Ausspruch, man habe leider im Stadtbild ein Problem, Millionen Menschen mit migrantischem Hintergrund verletzt und gegen sich aufgebracht. Wie tief diese Verletzung sitz, wurde ihm diese Woche drastisch vor Augen geführt, als er eine Rede bei der Deutschlandstiftung Integration hielt und dutzende migrantische Stipendiaten aus Protest den Saal verließen. Und dann noch der Ärger mit den Brasilianern, weil er Belem, die Ausrichterstadt der Klimakonferenz, als Ort bezeichnete, an dem man wirklich nicht bleiben wolle. Was ist los mit Friedrich Merz? Zeigt sich gerade ein grundsätzliche Schwäche, weil er sich zu oft nicht unter Kontrolle hat? Hat der Kanzler sich mit den falschen Leuten umgeben? Ist seine Koalition in Gefahr oder kann das doch noch was werden mit seiner Kanzlerschaft?

Lange war die Stimmung in Belem gut. Seit dem Feuer läuft es zäh. Nun geht die COP30 in die Verlängerung. Klimaforscherin Angela Oels weist darauf hin, wie wichtig auch ein Beschluss über Klimaanpassungskriterien wäre. Kühn, Kathrin www.deutschlandfunk.de, Forschung aktuell

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports several nations at COP 30 in Belem, Brazil are calling the proposals too weak.

À Belem au Brésil, c'est la dernière ligne droite pour la COP30 sur le changement climatique. Va-t-on vers une feuille de route pour la sortie des énergies fossiles ? Peut-on aller au-delà de 300 milliards de dollars par an pour l'adaptation des pays du Sud ? Seyni Nafo est le porte-parole du groupe des négociateurs africains. Il préside aussi le Fonds vert pour le climat et coordonne l'initiative de l'Union africaine pour l'adaptation au changement climatique. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Le président Lula a l'air très confiant. Cette COP 30 va être un succès, dit-il. Est-ce que vous partagez son optimisme ? Seyni Nafo : Je crois que, dans les conditions actuelles, c'est difficile. Mais je pense que le Brésil et la communauté internationale ont énormément investi pour qu'on fasse un maximum sur un certain nombre de sujets : le financement, l'adaptation au changement climatique et naturellement les forêts. Donc, je pense que, dans les circonstances actuelles, géopolitiques, c'est déjà un grand pas. Il reste encore quelques heures et comme vous le savez, une COP se décide toujours cinq ou 6h après la fin. Parmi les points de blocage, il y a la sortie ou non des énergies fossiles, le pétrole, le gaz, le charbon. À la COP 28 à Dubaï, il y a deux ans, un compromis a été trouvé pour une transition juste, ordonnée et durable. Est-ce que depuis on a avancé ou on a reculé ? C'est paradoxal. Sur les énergies renouvelables, on continue à accélérer. Par exemple, actuellement, quand on regarde les nouvelles capacités d'énergies qui sont installées, on a dépassé la moitié, 50, 60 % sur les énergies renouvelables. Donc, ça, c'est un fait. Mais sur la question des énergies fossiles, nous n'avons pas évidemment avancé aussi vite qu'on le voulait. Bien sûr, le retour de l'administration Trump y joue un certain rôle. Et donc, à cette COP, le plus important, c'est d'avoir une feuille de route sur cette transition pour évidemment qu'elle soit équitable et juste. On ne peut pas demander, par exemple, à des pays africains de prendre le lead sur ce sujet. Il faudrait que, pour l'équité et la justice climatique, les pays développés qui ont plus de ressources technologiques, plus de finances, soient les premiers dans cette transition et ensuite que les pays en développement soient soutenus. L'autre gros point de blocage, c'est le montant de l'aide financière des pays riches aux pays pauvres pour leur adaptation climatique. À la COP 29 à Bakou, il y a un an, les pays riches ont accepté de passer de 100 milliards à 300 milliards de dollars par an. Et visiblement, ils n'ont pas envie d'aller plus loin ? Ce que nous demandons pour ces cibles, il faut maintenant des feuilles de route détaillées avec des cibles intermédiaires, avec une description très précise des montants. C'est ce que nous sommes en train de négocier actuellement. Mais je pense que, après plus de quinze ans de cible, vous vous rappelez, en 2009, c'était la cible des 100 milliards, ensuite 300 milliards, je pense qu'aujourd'hui la question la plus importante, c'est l'accès. C'est bien d'annoncer des montants significatifs, mais si les pays africains, si les pays en développement, n'ont pas accès aux ressources existantes, c'est la question qui aujourd'hui est la plus problématique pour ces pays. Dans cette fameuse enveloppe de 300 milliards de dollars par an, il y a les quelque 3 milliards de dollars du Fonds vert pour le climat. Vous êtes président du conseil d'administration de ce Fonds vert. Pourquoi est-il stratégique à vos yeux ? La raison pour laquelle ce Fonds est stratégique, c'est qu'on peut prêter jusqu'à 45 ans, à moins d'1%. Donc, il y a ce premier élément-là. Le deuxième élément, c'est qu'on peut également travailler avec le pays directement. Je vais prendre un exemple. L'Éthiopie a son ministère des Finances qui est accrédité, donc qui peut recevoir directement des financements du Fonds vert et ne pas passer par des institutions internationales. Et c'est notre grande préoccupation. Quand on regarde, par exemple notre portefeuille avec l'Afrique, l'Afrique représente 40 % des financements du Fonds vert, mais malheureusement, plus de 85 % de ces financements passent par des institutions internationales. En Afrique centrale, nous avons encore beaucoup de travail parce que nous n'avons pas encore d'entité accréditée en Afrique centrale. Donc, au conseil d'administration du mois de mars, nous aurons notre première entité dans cette région. Nous allons avoir une entité régionale qui travaille justement dans quatre pays en Afrique centrale. Et ça, c'est une question qui est extrêmement importante pour nous, parce que le Fonds vert travaille à la transformation économique et justement à intégrer le climat dans la planification du développement. Et quels sont les quatre pays d'Afrique centrale en question ? Nous aurons le Cameroun, la RDC, le Tchad et probablement le Rwanda. On sait déjà que la COP 32 en 2027 aura sans doute lieu en Éthiopie. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour vous ? Le fait que ce soit l'Éthiopie qui a été sélectionnée cette année démontre le leadership de ce pays sur cette question. Mais au-delà de l'Éthiopie, il y a une prise en charge de la question climatique par les chefs d'États africains. Que ce soit avec le président (kényan) William Ruto qui est le président du Comité des chefs d'État ou avec le président (congolais) Denis Sassou-Nguesso sur la question du bassin du Congo. Donc, toutes les solutions africaines vont être mises sur la table et on va commencer les préparatifs juste à la fin de Belem.

For the last two weeks, a critically important climate conference has been taking place in Belem, Brazil. For the first time in 30 years, the United States did not send a delegation to the conference. Outside of the event, massive groups of Indigenous people have gathered to demand that world leaders do something to curtail the effects of climate change, which their communities are already feeling. Somini Sengupta, international climate reporter for the New York Times, joins the show to recap the conference.And in headlines, Elon Musk predicts a work-less utopia at the Saudi Investment Forum, the Trump Administration comes up with concepts of a plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and a federal judge restarts criminal contempt proceedings against the Trump Administration over potentially illegal deportation flights to El Salvador.Show Notes:Check out Somini's reporting – www.nytimes.com/by/somini-senguptaCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Belém finde die 30. Klimakonferenz der UNO statt. Mit dabei auch eine Delegation aus der Schweiz. Was kann diese Konferenz bewirken? Wirtschaftsredaktor Klaus Ammann und Wissenschaftsredaktor Christian von Burg sind zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Simone Hulliger. Rund 200 Länder verhandeln in diesen Tagen im brasilianischen Belem, rund 50 000 Personen nehmen daran teil. Es geht um Klimaziele, um Anpassungen an den Klimawandel oder um die internationale Klimafinanzierung. Auch könnte ein Fahrplan zum Ausstieg aus den fossilen Energien verabschiedet werden. Können sich die Staaten auf griffige Beschlüsse einigen? Und was, wenn nicht? SRF-Wirtschaftsredaktor Klaus Ammann und SRF-Wissenschaftsredaktor Christian von Burg berichten direkt aus Belém.

Medienberichten zufolge sollen sich Moskau und Washington bei Geheimgesprächen über einen möglichen Ukraine-Friedensplan ausgetauscht haben. Das sorgt für Irritation bei den Europäern.

Eigentlich sollte es eine entspannte Fastenwoche werden, loslassen und so. Aber Friedrich Merz hat uns bis in die Sauna verfolgt. Die neue K-Frage lautet: Kann Merz wirklich Kanzler? Und obendrein fragen wir uns: Ist es Starrsinn? Flegelei? CEO-Gehabe? Emotions-Vakuum? Strategie? Oder greift das Peter-Prinzip? Im DeepTalk des MutmachPodcasts fahnden Journalist Hajo und Psychologin Suse Schumacher nach den Motiven, warum der Kanzler statt Stärke eher Unbeholfenheit verströmt. Unsere Themen: Warum Friedrich Merz mal fasten sollte. Die Merz-Matrix: Dominanztheater eines Einzelgängers. Der CEO-Kanzler: Vorstand statt Volksnähe. Teamplay nie gelernt.

Negotiations in the COP 30 climate talks are continuing in Belem, Brazil. The headlines are focusing on the divisions between countries that are shaping this year's climate talks. But despite the doom and gloom, there are some practical steps being taken to support the transition towards lower-carbon energy. There may be a notable lack of significant new pledges. But making a pledge is the easy part. Implementation is always harder, and that is the focus for COP30.At COP28 in Dubai two years ago, a goal was set to double the pace of global energy efficiency gains, from 2% a year to over 4% a year. Can we hit that goal, and what will it mean if we do?To debate those questions, Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe are joined by Bob Hinkle, whose company Metrus Energy develops and finances efficiency and building energy upgrades across the US. Bob is there at the talks in Belem, and gives his perspective on the mood at the meeting. The presence of American businesses at the conference this year is definitely reduced compared to other recent COPs. But Bob still thinks it was well worth him going. He explains what he gets out of attending the COP, why energy efficiency has a vital role to play in cutting emissions, and why he is still optimistic about climate action.Another initiative that came out of COP28 was the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (ODGC): a group of more than 50 of the world's largest oil and gas companies, which aim to reach near-zero methane emissions and end routine flaring by 2030. Bjorn Otto Sverdrup is head of the secretariat for the OGDC, and he joins us having just returned from Belem.Bjorn Otto tells Amy and Ed that there has been some real progress in the industry. The 12 leading international companies that are members of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative have reported some positive numbers: their methane emissions are down 62%, routine flaring is down 72%, and there's been a 24% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions.There is still huge potential for cutting in total greenhouse gas emissions by curbing methane leakage and routine flaring worldwide. How can we make more progress? Bjorn explains the scale of the opportunity, the real-world constraints, and the growing role of new technology including satellites and AI in detecting leaks. Keep following the Energy Gang for more news and insight as COP30 wraps. Next week we'll talk about what happed, what was promised, what didn't happen, and what to expect on climate action in 2026.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The talk about indigenous leadership and how this is front and centre in this Brazilian Conference in the heart of the Amazon Forest. Dr Antimony Deor in an interview with Jane Morton, explores how the Biotic Pump  theoretically cools the climate. Forests like the Amazon, if left intact, drive atmospheric moisture inland. This is achived by tree evaporating and condensing of large amounts of water vapour.   Jane argues that we could achieve 1 degree of climate cooling by protecting the worlds tropical forests. PROTECTING THE FOREST PROTECTORSMeanwhile, this message from Survival International shows us how hard it is going to be for Brazil and other countries to enforce the law and protect the guardians of the forest.November 17th 2025"While Indigenous land rights are under scrutiny at the COP 30 in Brazil, in the Sunday morning darkness on November 16, attackers descended on an Indigenous community far to the south of the country, opening fire — killing a Guarani Kaiowá leader and injuring four others.Guns blazing, 20 attackers descended on Pyelito Kue, a community of Guarani Kaiowá people who recently reoccupied part of their ancestral land. They shot Vicente Fernandes Vilhalva, 36, in the head, killing him. Four more Guarani people were injured as the gunmen opened fire and burned down the community's shelters and belongings.......Almost all their land has been occupied by agribusiness and cattle ranches. Their resistance and attempts to reclaim the land have been met with brutal and often deadly attacks.Guarani families of Pyelito Kue have been forced to live in a cramped 97-hectare area, with little room to grow crops, for more than 10 years. With people going hungry, they reclaimed another part of their land in Iguatemipeguá I Indigenous Territory at the beginning of November. This patch of land, where Vicente was killed, is occupied by Fazenda Cachoeira, a massive cattle ranch leased by Agropecuária Santa Cruz and Agropecuária Guaxuma – cattle export companies.""Caroline Pearce, Executive Director of Survival International, said: “A week ago in Belém, President Lula recognized that Indigenous lands are key to combating climate change. He said “perhaps” not enough of their land has been properly recognized. Vicente's death is the stark reality of that lack of recognition: Indigenous people being evicted, dispossessed, denied their land, their rights, their livelihoods – their very lives........ The government of Brazil must complete land recognition, protect their territories, and prosecute those who evicted them and continue to terrorize them.”https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQhez_zAVAF/You can contact President Lula :Presidência da República Federativa do BrasilPalácio do PlanaltoPraça dos 3 PoderesBrasília - DF / 70150-900 You can support Indigenous climate guardians through SURVIVAL INTERNATIONALhttps://survivalinternational.org/getinvolved

Kate Adie introduces stories from Syria, the Philippines, Tanzania and Brazil.During his visit to Washington this week, Syria's interim president Ahmed Al Sharaa announced that Syria will join the coalition of 90 countries trying to eliminate the remnants of the Islamic State group. The threat of IS is increasing on Syrian soil, where 8,000 suspected IS fighters remain in jails, and 34,000 of their family members are held in camps. Orla Guerin reports on the new generation growing up in the camps.Last week the Philippines was hit by Typhoon Fung-wong - the twenty first big tropical storm to hit the country this year. Jonathan Head reflects on how the country copes with its vulnerability to natural disasters - and the growing anger over misappropriation of millions of dollars designated for improving flood defences.Tanzania recently experienced its worst post-election violence in decades. The newly elected president, Samia Suluhu Hassan, was inaugurated after the country's electoral commission declared she had won 98 per cent of the vote. In her speech she insisted the election was free and fair - though critics accuse the government of eliminating any credible political competition. Victor Kenani has been following the story on Tanzania's border with Kenya.Global leaders met this week in the Brazilian city of Belem for the latest COP climate summit, though it was off to a rocky start when it was not entirely clear what new - and renewed - pledges would be up for discussion.

Since the 1960s, scientists have been developing and honing models to understand how the earth's climate is changing. One such pioneer of early climate modelling is Syukuro Manabe, who won the Nobel prize in physics in 2021 for his work laying the foundation for our current understanding of how carbon dioxide affects global temperatures. A seminal paper he co-published in 1967 was voted the most influential climate science paper of all time.In this episode,  we speak to Nadir Jeevanjee, a researcher at the same lab in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration where Manabe once worked, to look at the history of these early climate models, and how many of their major predictions have stood the test of time. And yet, as climate negotiators gather in the Brazilian city of Belem on the edge of the Amazon for the Cop30 climate summit, the data sources that climate scientists around the world rely on to monitor and model the climate are under threat from funding cuts by the Trump administration.This episode was produced by Mend Mariwany, Katie Flood and Gemma Ware.

Indigenous protesters against deforestation are making their voices heard in Belem, Brazil, the site of the UN's major climate summit. But the world's most powerful people aren't even at the conference: Presidents Trump and Xi are no-shows, and so is India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all big polluters. One well-known American trying to fill the leadership gap is former US Vice President Al Gore. One of the earliest politicians to sound the alarm on climate change, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in part for his prescient documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."   Also on today's show: Juanita Goebertus, Director, Americas Division, HRW  & Noah Bullock, Executive Director, CRISTOSAL; NYT reporter Charlie Savage  Learn more about your ad choices.

COP30, now getting under way in Belem, Brazil, has been billed as “the implementation COP”, which means a focus on governments taking real steps to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. We will be examining all the key issues for government negotiators in the talks very soon. But for this show, we are looking at the role of business. At New York Climate Week in September, the discussion was all about how businesses are facing up to the challenges of meeting growing demand for energy while also curbing emissions. With the rise of AI and broader electrification trends driving up power demand in some places at rates not seen for decades, sustainability goals are under pressure. Will companies abandon them? Or are they just finding new ways to decarbonise while keeping things going? Two companies in very different industries but both focused on similar goals, are Prologis and Trane. First up, host Ed Crooks speaks to Susan Uthayakumar, Chief Energy and Sustainability Officer at Prologis. She explains how the world's largest logistics real estate company is turning its vast rooftop space into a decentralized power network. It is building on-site solar, storage, and microgrids to keep global supply chains resilient, while generating new revenue streams.Then, Holly Paeper, President of Commercial HVAC for the Americas at Trane, describes how cooling systems are becoming a cornerstone of sustainable infrastructure. From AI-driven optimisation to data centres that can heat Olympic swimming pools, Holly talks about ways to reinvent thermal systems to reduce energy waste, enable grid flexibility, and turn buildings into active contributors to their communities.For all the breaking news and insight from COP30, follow Energy Gang wherever you get your podcasts.

COP30 negotiations have officially started, and began with a fight about what to put on the agenda. While not completely unexpected for these enormous multilateral gatherings, it’s a rockier start than the Brazilian hosts in Belem would have wanted. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi is joined by Rachel Kyte, the UK’s Special Representative for Climate, to talk about how to forge climate consensus in an increasingly polarized world, and who is ready to fill the void left behind by the US.

Ten years ago in Paris, the world set its key climate goal, to limit a rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Now the United Nations is warning that the planet is likely to overshoot that target in the next decade, and that swift action is needed to limit the damage. The warning comes as world leaders are gathering for the COP30 Climate Conference in Belem, Brazil. Christiane spoke to former UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres, a key architect of the Paris Climate Agreement, in Brazil ahead of the summit.   Also on today's show: author Katy Hessel ("How to Live an Artful Life"); Grammy-award winning musician and songwriter Jacob Collier  Learn more about your ad choices.
