123. Ramping Up for COP26! with Matthew Phillips

Published: Oct. 28, 2021, 1:30 a.m.

If you haven\u2019t heard, COP26 is about to happen.

This week we embrace the complexity that is a COP (Conference of the Parties), and try to frame what is going to happen in the next 2 weeks so we don\u2019t lose focus on limiting global heating to 1.5C.

We\u2019re joined by Communications Director of COP25 & COP26 Climate Champions, Matthew Phillips. Matthew is inextricably linked with the process of COP26 and shares his wisdom and unique insight into what a successful COP26 looks like.

So if you\u2019re thinking about the logistical nightmares of COP26, what the Heads of State might say, how NDCs are going, or how inequities are being addressed at the COP this year, this conversation is for you.

Stay til the end for a beautiful soundscape of children\u2019s voices from Positive Imaginings.

Enjoy!
