In this podcast we talk about the United Nations Climate Change Conference - COP28 - which took place in Dubai in December, and which marked a the latest milestone in the global effort to address climate change and put our societies on a path towards a sustainable future. The conference was held against the backdrop of increasingly alarming scientific reports, emphasising the need for immediate and decisive action to limit global temperature rise and protect the planet's ecosystems.

This  COP agreement represent a significant shift as it is now the first-ever in 28 years of international climate negotiations to address fossil fuels  and put the alignment with science on the forefront of the fight against climate change. To discuss this and more, we talked with Maria Jose Sanz, Scientific Director at BC3 and Gillian Bowser, Associate Professor at the Colorado State University. Moderated by IEEP's Policy Analyst Krystyna Springer.
