Hosts Dr. Jeff Adams, Gareth Ward, and Monica Kunzel discuss highlights from the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt in November 2022. They emphasize that net-zero targets should focus on cutting emissions rather than relying on offsets, as well as key frameworks for adaptation approaches and “loss and damage” funding.  Overall, the podcast episode highlights the urgent need for action on climate change, the challenges involved, and the importance of global cooperation and equitable solutions to address the climate crisis.
