What to expect from the COP29 climate summit
Episode description
World leaders, CEOs and Climate experts are now heading to Baku for the annual United Nations Climate Change conference - COP29.
Against a backdrop of increasingly depressing news that warming gases are still accumulating faster than at any time in human history, the plan in Azerbaijan is to consider what now needs to happen next, and who will foot the bill to save the planet. Many think the gap between the global north and south, particularly over climate financing, will be the dominant issue at this COP.
To look ahead to what exactly we might expect on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann is joined by Nigar Arpadarai, UN Climate Change High-level Champion, Niklas Hagelberg, Global Coordinator for Climate Change at the UN Environmental Programme and Wu Changhua, Chair of the Governing Council of the Asia Pacific Water Forum.
