Alberta's been in the spotlight for much of COP28. The province sent the biggest provincial delegation in Canada's history at COP. It also received a "Fossil of the Day Award" by the Climate Action Network (not a good thing). We welcome three Albertans who attended the UN Climate Change Convention to find out why they went, what they said and saw there, and what they hope comes of it all.
