COP28 Roundup: More action needed, and more quickly | Greenomics – Ep. 6
A climate, sustainability and economics podcast from Oxford Economics
This week marks the end of the 28th climate Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai. More than 100,000 people gathered to discuss, debate, and decide action on climate change, at least in theory. COP28 brought some positive shifts in global funding for loss and damage but fell short of the transformative change many had hoped for. In this episode, Sarah is joined by Dr Matt Winning and Dr Karla Cervantes Barrón to discuss the takeaways from COP, what they mean for businesses and emerging economies, and whether COP is the right forum for decisive action.
