Podcast appearances and mentions of champa patel

In this episode, we're diving deep into climate finance - how governments are paying for and facilitating climate action. In our first segment, Climate Group's Gillian Ertel speaks with Kaitlin Butler, Vice President of NY Green Bank, on how green bank investments accelerate clean energy and renewable infrastructure deployment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In our next segment, Gillian continues the conversation with Champa Patel and Toby Walker from Climate Group's Governments & Policy team on all things COP29, specifically the impact of the UN's annual climate conference and what to expect ahead of COP30 in Brazil. Then, Gillian closes out the episode with Nehmat Kaur, Climate Group's Director of the Under2 Coalition and Subnational Governments on the impact cities, states and regions can have in the fight against climate change.

The role of development banks in climate financeThe COP29 climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan, have climate finance at the top of the agenda. As global leaders and experts gather to deliberate on pathways to a sustainable future, the focus is on how funding from richer nations might facilitate decarbonization and resilience in poorer and middle-income countries. These discussions are not just about altruism, but recognize the economic interdependence and shared benefits of global climate action. Put simply, poorer countries need financial help to commit to ambitious goals for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Development banks have emerged as pivotal actors in the climate finance landscape. Defined by their mandate to lend money for social and economic development on a not-for-profit basis, these banks are uniquely positioned to leverage limited resources for maximum impact. For example, with every dollar invested, a development bank can secure an additional seven to nine dollars from capital markets, a feat not readily achievable by direct government funding. Harry Boyd-Carpenter, Managing Director for Climate Strategy and Delivery at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and Avinash Persaud, Special Advisor on Climate Change at the Inter-American Development Bank, join our host, Ed Crooks to highlight that development banks are central to the current climate finance discourse. Their ability to mobilize large sums of money and finance long-term, low-cost projects makes them indispensable to the climate goals set at COP 29. Champa Patel, Director for Governments and Policy at the Climate Group, also joins the discussion. She points out that although there is much at stake, the multitude of unresolved issues makes optimism challenging. Even so, the potential benefits of achieving a robust and effective climate finance mechanism justify the effort and dedication of all involved. The goals are ambitious, but the path ahead is fraught with challenges. Key issues include defining what constitutes climate finance, setting a quantitative goal, determining who can access these funds, and on what terms. The lack of consensus on these crucial aspects makes the discussions at COP 29 particularly intricate.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into COP28 – what does this iteration of the UN's annual climate conference mean for the future of climate action? First, we join with join with Champa Patel, Executive Director of Governments and Policy at Climate Group to give us a recap of the conference and provide insight on the role of NGOs and subnational stakeholders in the decision-making process. Then, we speak to John Morton, Managing Director, and Head of Americas at Pollination Group, a specialist climate change investment and advisory firm, to discuss the role of climate finance in shaping the global transition to net zero.  

When world leaders convened at COP26 in November last year, climate was at the forefront of the global agenda. But Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has instead triggered a new “gold rush” for fossil fuels amid skyrocketing commodity prices. In the shadow of the continuing war, leaders meeting at the G7 summit later this month must find ways to reduce reliance on Russian energy without compromising the goal of “climate neutrality” – the central theme chosen for the summit by Germany, which currently holds the G7 presidency.This week on War & Peace, Olga Oliker talks to Crisis Group's Director of Innovation and Deputy Director of the Future of Conflict Program, Champa Patel. They discuss how climate change is multiplying the threat of conflict throughout the world, driving resource competition, and amplifying social and economic inequalities. They also talk about the effect of conflict on attempts to address climate change, including in the context of the Ukraine war, and the risk that it will lead many European states to dramatically increase their fossil fuel consumption. Looking ahead to the G7 summit and a critical COP27 in Egypt, they talk about what needs to be done to keep the green transition on track and why addressing conflict-climate links must be on the global agenda.For more about how climate and conflict interact, make sure to check out Crisis Group's Future of Conflict Program page.This episode of War & Peace was produced with the support of Stiftung Mercator.

"Our country was a bird that was just learning to fly. Now the army broke our wings," said one activist. "What was granted by the generals is now being taken back," declared another.It’s been a dramatic few days in Southeast Asian nation Myanmar - or Burma. The country’s military has seized power again, and arrested several of the country’s civilian leaders, including national figurehead Aung San Suu Kyi. Her party, the National League for Democracy, had won a convincing victory in elections last November.To those who used to live under Myanmar’s decades-long military dictatorship, it’s a hugely concerning turn of events. Of course, Myanmar’s democratically-elected civilian government, including Ms Suu Kyi herself, has come under intense criticism from overseas in recent years owing to the alleged genocide of the Rohingya minority in the country’s north west.The situation is obviously quite fluid, but we wanted to bring you analysis of these events and their background, and ask what next for Myanmar's relationship with the outside world following this dramatic move. Joining us to do so, we are pleased to have Dr. Champa Patel (@patel_champa), head of the Asia-Pacific programme at Chatham House; and Tin Htar Swe (@tinhtarswe), the BBC’s former Burmese editor and now an independent analyst based in London.

People in the UK have a worrying lack of knowledge about what constitutes a crime when it comes to the sexual abuse of children, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by Barnardo's.

Jenni is joined by Amanda Naylor, Head of Child Sexual Abuse at Barnado's and Cris McCurley, a partner at BenHoareBell Solicitors in Newcastle to discuss adults in positions of trust and how the Sexual Offences Act 2003 relates to them.
