To round off Season 5, the team are taking the podcast to COP28 in Dubai and providing listeners with a bit of texture including what the event was like to attend, as well as sharing a snapshot of some of the varied voices and discussions that took place. Having had a little time for reflection, Alicia, Chris and Patrick also offer their thoughts and takeaways on what this COP might mean for the future.

COP28 was the first in nearly 30 years to feature hydrogen as part of the Presidential Action Agenda with Daria Nochevnik of Hydrogen Council (also former EAH guest) as the Special Hydrogen Advisor to the COP Presidency, H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber.
