The annual meeting for tackling the climate crisis is right around the corner. The 27th climate conference will take place in Egypt on the 6th of November with almost 200 countries attending.

This year has been defined by reoccurring environmental catastrophes, from drought to floods, forest fires, and heatwaves, which have now become an everyday reality of our lives It appears to me that the question is not whether we are doing enough to fight climate change because we clearly aren’t.

What can we expect from the 27th Climate Conference? Will they make countries take more responsibility for their emissions?

In this episode with climate change fighting pioneer Svein Tveitdal, we discuss the importance of COPs in meeting our climate targets and what he expects from its 27th meeting.

Guest: Svein Tveitdal, Founder and CEO of Klima2020, former Assistant Executive Director of the UN Environment Program (UNEP).

The European Union is experiencing troubled times in regard to the current energy prices (and winter yet has not come). Some would argue that this situation we are facing (high energy prices, dependency on unreliable partners for energy supply) was just revealed by the war in Ukraine and the moral impossibility (at least in political discourses) to buy from Russia, and that it was a low-hanging fruit because the EU had not done the necessary efforts to emancipate itself from energy imports, therefore relying on others’ willingness’s amongst other factors.

What has been the EU's answer so far? How did the EU heads of State and MEPs, with the European Commission, react to this shock?

In this episode with academic specialist Professor Catherine Banet, we discuss the REPower EU Plan and the latest national and European measures taken to tackle this phenomenon that might last for quite a long time.

Guest: Pr. Catherine Banet, Head of Department of Energy and Resources Law, University of Oslo.

Host: Léo Robert, Green Power Analyst, Greenfact.
