In this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast I chat with Professor Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth Systems Science from University College London.

🔥 Key Takeaways:
📉 Delving deep into the pressing matter of our global climate, we explored the current trajectory of global warming. With 2.5 to 2.8 degrees warming in sight, the aim is to shift the dial back towards a manageable 1.5 degrees. But how? 🤔

🌱 Green Economy & Global Policies:
Mark lends insights into the fragile but progressing shifts in climate policies and economic restructuring towards renewables, an undeniable necessity!

🇦🇪 COP28 in UAE:
A sneak peek into the upcoming COP28 in Dubai, where the leadership, despite being deeply rooted in oil and gas, shows an intriguing commitment towards a net zero future. Will they deliver under the global gaze?

🌎 Global Cooperation:
We tackled the herculean task of maintaining the momentum from Glasgow and the challenges met in Egypt, underscoring the vital role of global cooperation and strategic planning in climate diplomacy. 🤝

👥 Your Agency in Climate Action:
Remember, YOU hold power! Mark inspires us all to realize our agency in battling climate change. Be it in your community, workplace, or social circles, your voice can instigate powerful, positive changes!
