Podcasts about cop28 summit

At the COP28 Summit, for the first time since nations began meeting some three decades ago, nearly 200 countries convened by the United Nations approved a milestone plan to ramp up renewable energy and transition away from coal, oil and gas. With all eyes on the new deal - that is not legally binding and can't, on its own, force any country to act - “transition finance” is shaping up to be one of this year's most important topics in the climate space but how just is this transition?  On this episode of Climate Connections, Sharan Burrow, Former General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation and Global Board of Director, World Resources Institute shares her insights on why a just transition is so important and why people must be at the center of this green transition. Sharan recently spoke at the 2024 Ecosperity Week spearheaded by Temasek.

For the first time, agriculture and its impact on climate change, was on the official agenda at the COP28 Summit in Dubai, which has just ended. While much of the debate about the final statement from the event has centred around reductions in the use of fossil fuels, progress was made on the role of agriculture. More than 120 countries signed a pledge to include agriculture in their national climate change equations, and ensure changes in agricultural practices are part of their plans for reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of global warming.A new study covering thousands of species has analysed how many plants and insects are now out of kilter with the seasons. The University of Oxford and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has looked at data covering the last 34 years across Europe, much of it gathered by citizen scientists. We speak to one of the authors about how particular crops are affected when nature is out of sync.All week we're talking about rare breed farm animals. The Suffolk Punch is the oldest breed of heavy horse and according to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, all modern Suffolks are descended from just one horse which was born in 1768. There are currently 200 breeding mares today, but back in 1966 there were just nine Suffolk foals registered. Presenter = Anna Hill Producers = Rebecca Rooney & Marie Lennon

12 Dec 2023. As the text of a draft deal at COP28 has stopped short of calling on nations to gradually phase out fossil fuels, resulting in strong reactions from countries and delegates here, we hear from Christina Voigt. Christina has worked as a legal adviser and climate negotiator for the Government of Norway for more than 10 years.  With COP28 drawing to a close, a draft text of the summit agreement has prompted widespread backlash from countries vulnerable to climate change. Tanzeed Alam, Managing Director, Earth Matters Consulting explains how fossil fuels and finance remain key hurdles in the negotiation text at the climate summit. We'll also hear from Steen Jakobsen, Chief Investment Officer, Saxo Bank on their annual Outrageous Predictions for 2024. The eight predictions focus on a series of unlikely but underappreciated events which, if they were to occur, would send shockwaves across the financial markets. Finally, we're talking all things tax with expert John Casey, General Manager - Virtuzone Accounting & Tax.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new COP28 draft agreement does not explicitly mention the phasing out of fossil fuels. But the text does focus on reducing the production and consumption of such fuels by 2050. It includes carefully chosen language steering clear of words like "phasing out" or "emissions". This is understood to be a compromising clause for countries that want to continue using carbon credit systems.  Guardian reporter Patrick Greenfield, who is currently at the COP28 Summit in Dubai, spoke to Corin Dann.

Trending Middle East brings you the latest social media and search trends from the Middle East and around the world. On today's episode, Dr Sultan Al Jaber, the UAE's Cop28 President-designate, says getting global climate goals back on track means the summit in Dubai must rise to meet high expectations and overcome low levels of trust, especially in the countries hardest hit by climate change. US President Joe Biden's administration said it was “encouraged” after an Arab meeting in Jordan to discuss normalising ties with Syria, despite US opposition to bringing the country back into the fold. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund aims to create 1.8 million jobs and increase its assets to 4 trillion Saudi riyals ($1 trillion) as the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund continues to increase investments to support the growth of the Saudi economy, the Arab world's largest. Emirates will deliver a strong set of annual financial results for its fiscal year that ended on March 31, as air travel demand, particularly in leisure, records strong growth, the airline's chief has said.
