COP 29: Leaders of today and tomorrow

Description

This episode is a two-parter - the first part featuring leaders of today, and the second featuring leaders of tomorrow. 

First up, you'll hear from three speakers at the leaders segment that kicked off COP29 - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the UN's chief  climate scientist Jim Skea, and the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley. 

(I'm a big fan of Prime Minister Mottley, and you'll understand why when you hear what she has to say about climate finance.)

Then you'll hear from two leaders of tomorrow - Toni Kemel Soalablai and Charlie Bevis - who are both involved in the Youth Negotiators Academy.

You will be amazed at what the Academy has achieved in a very short space of time. You'll also be fascinated with what Toni and Charlie have to say when I asked how different these negotiations would be, if it wasn't a conference of the parties, but was instead a conference of the parties' youth.
