The Climate Conversations Podcast: Will COP28 deliver at this crucial time in the climate crisis?

The annual UN-led climate conference kicks off in Dubai. COP28 brings together governments, climate scientists and activists. What's on the agenda?

The Conference of Parties or COP28 takes place in Dubai from Nov 30 to Dec 12.

Julie Yoo checks in with CNA's sustainability correspondent Jack Board and Melissa Low, research fellow at the National University of Singapore’s Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions, to discuss what’s on the packed agenda and why this is a critical meeting for all stakeholders.

Melissa Low:
It's a real opportunity for them to show leadership and show the world that if a country like the (United Arab Emirates) where it is really ... heavily invested in the fossil sector ... they're committed to transitioning.
