COP 31 will be held in Antalya, Türkiye, from 9 to 20 November 2026. While Türkiye will serve as host country, taking responsibility for the logistics and operations of the conference, Australia will lead the negotiations. To ensure Pacific interests remain at the heart of the summit, the Pre-COP will be hosted in Fiji, supported by the Government of Australia. This represents an unprecedented opportunity to bring the world to the Pacific to experience climate impacts and solutions firsthand.In this collaborative, cross-continental episode, James and Daisy are joined by Jack Whelan and Heidi Dumesich, hosts of Bula COP31!, for an intergenerational conversation about the COP process. For this first instalment, James is in the hot seat to share his learnings from what he's seen on the ground at previous COPs. How can the COP presidency influence outcomes? How does geopolitics shape climate diplomacy? Is it time for structural reform of the process? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: BulaCOP31! – To learn more about what it means for Australia and Türkiye to co-host COP31, listen to Jack and Heidi's podcast.OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:COP31 – Türkiye will be the formal COP31 President, handling all operational and logistical requirements, and the conference and the World Leaders Summit will be physically hosted by Türkiye in the city of Antalya. However, Australia's Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, will serve as the President of Negotiations. This role is vested with "exclusive authority in relation to the negotiations," covering the agenda, draft texts, and appointment of co-facilitators. This arrangement was devised to avoid a prolonged diplomatic impasse, which would have automatically defaulted the conference to Bonn, Germany, risking a year without focused political negotiation leadership.Alliance of Small Islands States (AOSIS) – An intergovernmental organization representing small island nations on climate issues.BINGO (Business and Industry Non-Governmental Organizations) represents a formal constituency of business and industry observers at the UNFCCC. The Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) – Founded in 1971 as the South Pacific Forum (SPF), PIF is an 18-member inter-governmental organisation which brings the region together to address pressing issues and challenges. The Carbon War by Jeremy Leggett – This book is an eyewitness account of the climate talks, and the way the fossil-fuel vested-interests (the “carbon club”) tried to derail them.The Precautionary Principle – A decision-making approach that emphasizes taking preventative measures when there's a reasonable possibility of harm, even if scientific evidence is not fully conclusive.UNFCCC (2017) – Just weeks before it hosted COP23, Fiji announced the issuance of a sovereign green bond, raising FDJ 100m (USD 50m) to support climate change mitigation and adaption.UNFCCC (2018) – Talanoa is a traditional word used in Fiji and across the Pacific to reflect a process of inclusive, participatory and transparent dialogue. At COP23 (2017) under Fiji's Presidency, the Talanoa Dialogue was launched, inviting everyone to engage in finding a solution. Thank you for listening!

Neues Jahr, alte Frage: Wohin mit dem CO2, das wir nicht vermeiden können? Inzwischen ist klar: Allein durch Einsparen und Erneuerbare Energien lassen sich die gesteckten Klimaziele nicht mehr erreichen. Wir brauchen weitere Lösungen: Zum Beispiel die Einlagerung von CO2. Auf der Weltklimakonferenz in Dubai hat das Thema eine große Rolle gespielt. Viele Staaten setzen auf technische Lösungen im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Auch die Bundesregierung verschließt sich dem nicht. Wie bedeutsam ist die Technik? Wie funktioniert sie? Und wie sicher ist sie? Darüber sprechen wir mit Frank Schilling vom Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, mit Julia Metz vom Think Tank Agora Industrie, mit Carel Mohn von Klimafakten.de und mit unserem Redakteur aus der Klimaredaktion Reinhard Spiegelhauer. Podcast-Tipp: Funkkolleg. Klima Welchen Wert hat unser persönlicher CO2-Fußabdruck? Sind Bio-Tomaten auch gut fürs Klima? Können wir mit neuen Energieträgern wie grünem Wasserstoff den Klimawandel schnell ausbremsen? Das funkolleg.

World leaders are currently meeting in Dubai for the United Nations' COP23 climate summit to discuss how to cope with a changing global climate. At the same time, a new study has suggested that air pollution from using fossil fuels is responsible for 5 million avoidable deaths around the world every year. Host James Reynolds brings together three young people in India, Uganda and Bangladesh to hear their concerns and what it's like to live in a country struggling with air pollution.“I got up, I looked out the window, nothing. I couldn't even see my own lane. It was extremely sad,” said 12 year old Myra in Delhi, India. “I was getting ready to go to the school. I was going to my bus and I couldn't see anything. Almost all days smog is covering the entire city. It's suffocating.”Three women from the United States, India and the UK - all in their twenties - also share why they decided to not have children in order to help save the planet. “Every year has become more significant,” says Melissa in London, “and of course making changes in my own life to help the climate like being plant-based and not having children seems to be quite a good decision in that regard as well.”A co-production between the BBC OS team and Boffin Media.
The Paris climate agreement in 2015 aimed to limit global warming to 1.5C. But have politics and lobbying got in the way of urgently needed progress? Is it too late for some nations? There has been much scepticism among delegates at COP28 as to whether the hosts are honest brokers in this process and if the money pledged by the wealthiest nations is enough to mitigate this crisis. Shaun Ley is joined by:Rachel Kyte served as Special Representative for the UN Secretary-General, and is a long standing advocate for sustainable energy. She was vice president of the World Bank and is a visiting professor at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford in the UK.Cassie Flynn, who's now global director of climate change at the UN Development Programme.

I dagens avsnitt får du följa med oss när vi dyker in i den akuta konsekvensen av klimatkrisen och hur den påverkar världens barn. Tillsammans med vår gäst, Martina Hibell, som är generalsekreterare på Barnfonden, utforskar vi hur barnen drabbas av klimatförändringarna. Martina delar med sig av Barnfondens viktiga arbete och hur de verkar i länder som Etiopien, Kambodja, Indien, Kenya, Uganda och Bolivia. Klimatförändringarna drabbar barn hårdare än vuxna och detta kan få långtgående konsekvenser på barnens utveckling. Dessutom diskuterar vi vikten av att inkludera barnen i den politiska diskussionen om klimatkrisen, med COP23 runt hörnet.Så, om du vill bli mer medveten om hur klimatkrisen påverkar våra barn och vad vi kan göra för att göra en positiv samhällsförändring, missa inte detta avsnitt.

In an interview done earlier this year, long time climate activist James Cameron provides a fascinating insider's perspective the on the COP— highlighting the highs and lows of various COPs over the last thirty years or so—and the COP's greatest achievements—against a background of slow but growing momentum in the private and public sphere to deal with climate change. James also discusses the vital and growing role of the legal system in dealing with global warming. He talks about the work that he has done over this time supporting the various COPs -and COP23 in particular. James also discusses the prospects for COP26 and shares his optimism on the prospects for businesses pursuing Net Zero strategies. Fascinating and first-hand insights into international and multilateral approaches to responding to climate change. James Cameron is an influential figure within the international climate change community. He has been engaged with environmental and climate change policy for some 30 years, working variously as a barrister, financier, social entrepreneur, and as a trusted advisor to myriad climate change and environmental organisations. He has been involved in many of the COPs over recent decades, most notably COP X in Fiji. James is called “a Friend of COP26,” advising the UK government on the upcoming COP in Glasgow in November. He is also a member of HM Treasury's Infrastructure UK Advisory Council, GE's ecomagination advisory board, is an advisor to the Climate Bonds Initiative, and a trustee member of the UK Green Building Council.
On Tuesday 29 June 2021, we held the first "World According To Women", a forum for the women I have interviewed for this podcast to come together and go deeper on the issues, observations and concerns I am hearing from so many of them. For this event, Meredith Marshall and Camilla Borrevik shared their observations on “Better conversations: How we might communicate to bring out the best in us". Meredith talked about how she changed communication styles in one of the biggest financial organisations in the US and Camilla talked about her work as a Norwegian anthropologist who works with small Pacific Island states on climate change and how the Fijian leadership at COP23 changed the way people were communicating. Maria Laura Baccarini connected us all on a completely different level when she sang from the prologue of her new show, "Atalante". The theme of "better conversations" was exactly the right place to start. I hope you enjoy this exploration into what it means to communicate in a way that is profoundly human. I would love to hear any comments you might have on this episode and respond to any questions.

The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
The Pacific Ocean is the most sparsely populated region on earth, while the island nations and peoples are also among the most threatened by climate change impacts. The isolation of these islands geographically is even akin to their isolation from western climate science and global climate policy discussions. In a time of rapid environmental, economic, and cultural change, how can we help these peoples and countries cope? Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) or indigenous ecological knowledge provide a valuable understanding of nature and culture to promote hope and positive action. In the first episode of Season 2, we meet Tui Shortland, Director of Te Kopu, Pacific Indigenous and Local Knowledge Centre of Distinction. Tui is a climate change leader for many of the island nations in the Pacific, and she's worked hard to create space for indigenous peoples and women in the international climate policy community. New openings have appeared recently. Fiji recently hosted COP23 in December 2017, and the UNFCCC has created a new means for voices from non-state actors such as NGOs, ethnic and indigenous minorities, gender groups to participate in climate negotiations structured through a Polynesian tradition called “Talanoa dialogues” (https://talanoadialogue.com/). Tui describes a positive, urgent vision for residents of the Pacific Islands who have done little to contribute to global climate change but now face a highly uncertain future in their homelands. Following that conversation, we bring in AGWA's Coordinator, John Matthews, to kick off a brand new segment called “Postcards from the Future.”
The wait is over! After a little summer break we’re back with a brand new episode. And I'm 100% sure that it’s going to switch on your inner light and belief in the good people in this world! What do you think: How can something so simple as a tiny sun-shaped solar lamp the impact the lives of billions of people ? Why can micro-entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa be much more powerful than financial aid? How can anyone of us leverage the connections we have to be part of something that matters? And how can we keep up our flame of motivation when things get tough? That’s just a mini-preview of all the inspiration bombs Felix drops in this episode. Extremely proud to present you another Berlin-based certified B-Corp with a fascinating story. If you haven’t heard of it yet, Little Sun (@ilovelittlesun) is a social business spreading clean, affordable solar energy around the globe. Just a couple of mindblowing numbers to get you into the scene: Since Little Sun started in 2012, it has Sold 661,578 lamps sold worldwide Changed 1,648,386 lives off-grid Built up new opportunities for 600+ African entrepreneurs Saved an insane amount of $35,531,865 on energy expenses in off-grid households Reduced 134,572 tonnes of Co2 emissions That was in December 2017, so their impact has been growing even bigger since. Little Sun has also won a competition by the United Nations Development Program for access to clean energy in Senegal, launched the Little Sun Foundation and - an image that can hardly be topped in beauty - brought together artists, musicians, and activists in New York in the eve of COP23 to urge policymakers and political leaders to join the fight for climate action. Imagine 2,800 people holding up Little Sun’s, creating a collective work of art that stands for a solar-powered sunrise….. I loved chatting to Felix - he has such a bright personality, is full of integrity, radiates genuine excitement for the opportunities we have & adds exactly the right dose of humour to things - which I find is SO important to really move the needle forward and tackle the big problems out there. Plus, he’s a loving dad and shares so many personal insights about his journey Felix also mentions heaps of other great impact projects AND gives some big shout outs to you guys, the listeners - including a burning question that maybe some of you could help answer in the end.

As the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) comes to a close in Bonn, Switzerland, where do we stand on our climate commitments? What issues are on the table, and which have been swept under the rug? How are we tackling what many consider to be one of the biggest elephants in the room – the role of livestock and global overconsumption of meat and dairy products? In this episode, we welcome back Mark Pershin on the podcast, founder and CEO of Less Meat Less Heat, an organization committed to shifting societal attitudes towards meat consumption to curtail agriculture’s damaging impact on the environment. Mark and I discuss: Why so little progress has been made in reaching agreements on agriculture and food in UN Climate Change Conferences How a coalition is forming that aims to put the overconsumption of meat on the negotiating table and the role of livestock in climate change front and centre of policy debates Why grassroots movements and individual actions remain vital in the fight against climate change Links: Less Meat Less Heat website Climatarian Diet Challenge "Grazed and confused" – Food Climate Research Network Climate Agriculture unmasked -- indigenous organized Put Climate on Pause coalition website Clean Air Coalition Boycott of US Fossil Fuel Presentation at COP23 You may also like: FFS 000 - Why a Food Podcast FFS 001 - The Climatarian Diet FFS 012 - Cultured Meat: Looking Beyond the Hype with New Harvest
Ormai siamo abituati a trattare i temi dell'energia e del clima con il punto di vista delle economie ricche. Grandi impianti di generazione, automobili elettriche, accesso all'elettricità garantito. Tuttavia nelle grandi conferenze internazionali si prova sempre più spesso a guardare i problemi con il punto di vista degli esclusi, degli emarginati e dei poveri. Forse, nel corso della COP23, i passi in avanti più significativi sono stati fatti proprio in questo campo. Ne abbiamo parlato con Chiara Soletti, di Italian Climate Network, che ha partecipato ai lavori della conferenza di Bonn. - Nella seconda parte di trasmissione vi abbiamo raccontato la storia di Quetzal Modica, una cooperativa sociale siciliana, di commercio equo e solidale, che dal 2004 produce cioccolato di Modica biologico e fair trade. Hanno deciso di passare ad ènostra e noi abbiamo chiesto a Sara Ongaro, responsabile comunicazione della cooperativa, il perchè.

Leo Hickman is director and editor of Carbon Brief, a leading UK based website covering the latest developments in climate science, climate policy, and energy policy. Carbon Brief specialises in clear data-driven articles and graphics to communicate complex and fast-moving developments in climate science to improve the understanding of climate change both in terms of the science and policy response. Leo previously worked for 16 years as journalist, editor and author at the Guardian newspaper and prior to joining Carbon Brief worked as WWF-UK's chief advisor on climate change. His books include A Life Stripped Bare,The Final Call and most recently Will Jellyfish Rule the World? In this special episode devoted to COP23, Leo gives us a succinct summary of events in Bonn. He reminds us that since Paris, the annual COP meetings have focused on creating a rulebook to implement the Paris Accords. He stresses that current pledges fall short of meeting the goals set out in Paris, something highlighted by UNEP's annual “Emissions Gap Report.” He discusses how disagreements around financing have reignited tensions between developed and developing countries, particularly over action before the Paris agreement formally begins in 2020. Leo also addresses the two American delegations that stole the spotlight and emphasises how Trump's withdrawal from Paris has acted as a catalyst for American action on climate change. He also addresses how China is filling the void left by American leadership and briefly discusses the British presence at Bonn, notably through the Powering Past Coal alliance. Finally, he gives us an overview of key events to look for over the next year, including the Californian Global Climate Action Summit in September 2018, as well as telling us of Carbon Brief's upcoming projects. The post Episode 36: Carbon Brief's Leo Hickman reviews COP23 appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.
"La fin du sida est-elle possible ? "C'est une question aussi importante que complexe. Heureusement, François Berdougo et Gabriel Girard ont écrit un livre pour y répondre. Aujourd'hui dans l'émission, François Berdougo nous retrace les contours de la lutte contre le sida, depuis l'apparition de la maladie en 1985. Il nous explique ce qui a été réussi jusque là et présente ce qu'il reste encore à mettre en œuvre pour atteindre l'objectif d'éradication du virus d'ici 2030. En l'occurrence, le combat passe par l'amélioration des politiques sociales et par une prise de conscience collective. "Il se trouve qu'aujourd'hui il reste encore un socle conséquent et considérable de fausses croyances liées à la transmission du virus" En deuxième partie d'émission, la réalisatrice Sandra Blondel, nous parle de son film Irrintzina et des combats de l'association Alternatiba. Son film raconte comment une poignée de militants de l'organisation basque Bizi a lancé une mobilisation hors du commun qui continue et prend de l'ampleur. Avec Gabriel de l'association Les Amis de la Terre, la réalisatrice nous expose les enjeux des combats pour l'environnement à l'heure de "l'appel des 15 000" publié dans le Monde la semaine dernière. Les invités vous donnent rendez-vous le 12 décembre à Paris à l'occasion de l'appel de la Coalition Climat21, et en 2018 pour le Tour Alternatiba ! "Les médias nationaux n'ont pas relayé le film. Le JT de France 2 est venu à l'arrivée du tour Alternatiba. Ils ont fait un reportage sur la gastronomie sans dire une seule fois le mot "climat"." Côté chroniques, Tristan de Radio Parleur nous parle du sort des résidents de Saint-Denis qui ont été délogés suite aux attentats de 2015, et Tiana nous fait un point sur la COP23 qui s'est achevée la semaine dernière à Bonn.

Episode 2 of 3 of our miniseries on COP23 in Bonn, Germany. Our Chinese-language episodes will be returning in the following week. Maybe you’ve heard of the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, or even the ignominious Copenhagen summit. But only the most selfless, committed among us stay tuned-in to the UN climate negotiations through the thrice-a-year intersessional meetings. During the final days of COP23 in Bonn, Germany, we chat with Li Shuo, an international climate negotiation expert at Greenpeace East Asia, to hear about the inglorious work of parsing through the fine print of UN negotiation text. Li Shuo explains the state of the UN climate negotiations in the post-Paris Agreement, post-Trump era, and describes the full-body, pound-shedding, caffeine-fueled commitment needed to engage in UN climate advocacy, running from meeting to meeting. One last note: we had a hard time finding a quiet place to record at the COP23 conference; apologies to our audience for the technical difficulties and "ghost-like" sounds in this episode.
So schnell die Klimakonferenz begonnen hat, so schnell ist Sie auch schon wieder vorbei. Wir bedanken uns an dieser Stelle ganz herzlich bei Vera und Simon für ihre tolle Arbeit in den letzten fünf Tagen. In der letzten Spezialfolge hat unser Gast von den Fijis das letzte Wort.
BONUS Episode from Environment China! How many cops does it take to screw in a climate lightbulb? At least 23? This last week, Bonn, Germany, hosted the 23rd "Conference of the Parties" (COP23) -- the latest iteration of the UN climate negotiations that have dragged on since the early 1990s. Over two weeks, as national delegations from around the world try to hammer down the technical details of the Paris Agreement, tens of thousands of people -- researchers, activists, politicians, journalists, celebrities -- flock to Bonn to take part in the biggest climate event of the year. But what exactly is all this COP fuss about? In this COP miniseries, we'll be taking a dive into the weeds of the negotiations and the role of China on the international climate stage. But first, we're taking you behind the scenes at the UN climate talks, to hear a cross-section of voices, some young, some old, calling for urgent climate action.
There's only so much CO2 we can release before we push the global temperature above 2 degrees – what scientists call our carbon budget. Do we stand a chance of weaning ourselves off fossil fuels in time?
Clima, preoccupati ma divisi sul futuro del pianeta, soprattutto gli europei. A Bonn è in corso Cop23, la conferenza annuale dell'Onu sul cambiamento climatico. L'appello dei 15 mila scienziati di 184 paesi a fare in fretta rischia di cadere nel vuoto. Con gli Stati Uniti che si sono sfilati dall'accordo di Parigi del 2015 e i paesi europei divisi è difficile che si facciano passi in avanti. Memos ne ha parlato oggi con Roberto Della Seta, co-presidente della Fondazione Europa Ecologia, e Gianni Silvestrini, direttore scientifico del Kyoto Club. Ospite della puntata di oggi anche Ugo Mattei, giurista attivo nel movimento europeo dei beni comuni, autore insieme al fisico di fama internazionale Fritjof Capra di “Ecologia del diritto” (Aboca, 2017), come il diritto può contribuire ad affrontare la sfida del cambiamento climatico.
An increasing number of global cities are moving ahead on climate action, putting sustainable solutions in practice. The US city of Pittsburgh and the South African capital, Tshwane (Pretoria) are champions for innovations. Mayors Bill Peduto and Solly Msimanga discuss challenges and the sustainable future of their cities in this special edition. (Special thanks to city network ICLEI)
As the 23rd annual UN climate conference kicked off in Bonn this week, the message from small island states was loud and clear: 1.5 to stay alive. At COP23, Living Planet spoke with Pacific Islanders, climate activists and indigenous peoples campaigning for urgent climate action:
The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
In this episode of the ClimateReady Podcast we take our listeners into the world of climate-water policy in the lead up to COP23 in Bonn (Nov. 6-17). Maggie White, Manager of International Policies at Stockholm International Water Institute (www.siwi.org) as well as AGWA's Co-Chair, joins in the discussion along with AGWA's Coordinator, Dr. John Matthews. We learn about the importance of international policy as a means for scaling up innovative and critical adaptation strategies, ways in which the scientific and policy communities can better coexist, and what will take place at COP23 this November.
