On the ground at COP30: The latest on climate finance and deciphering the jargon


Listen Later

This week we are on the ground at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP30, in Belém, Brazil, where the intense heat and daily thunderstorms offer an “immersive experience” of the climate crisis right at the conference’s doorstep. 

In this episode, hosted by Devex Executive Vice President and Executive Editor Kate Warren, reporters Ayenat Mersie and Jesse Chase-Lubitz highlight the key talking points at the conference, including the latest on the loss and damage fund and how multilateral development banks are financing climate action. 


We also decipher the jargon around climate action for our global development audience, breaking down key acronyms such as NDCs and the controversial new investment fund, TFFF.


The sponsored segment of the conversation is brought to you by Pivotal and its Action for Women’s Health initiative to discuss innovations shaping the future of women’s health.
In this episode, Devex Senior Editor Catherine Cheney sits down with recently awarded grantee, Serah Joy Malaba, co-CEO of Tiko, whose leadership is deeply rooted in personal experience, fueling her commitment to ensure girls have the best chance for success. Learn more about the awardees and explore the content series — starting at the 12:37 mark.
