COP29 mix-tape: Vox pops from the delegates pavilion

Description

Vox pops are journalism's equivalent of bungee jumping - you take a leap forward and hope for the best! 

I wandered the corridors of the large area allocated for organisation and country pavilions at COP29, asking representatives about their work, and about their focus at the COP.

You'll hear from people working on issues including health, adaptation, risk communication, solar energy, transition planning, carbon markets, infrastructure planning, the business response, methane mitigation, and more. 

And you'll hear from people based in countries and regions including Bangladesh, Switzerland, the Horn of Africa, Sweden, Pacific island nations, India, and South Korea. 

It was a particular honour to talk to Ghana's lead negotiator, Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah. Ghana is a very active member of the V20, which is a coalition of 70 climate-vulnerable developing countries. 

It was a thrill to record these interview snippets, and I hope you enjoy listening to them!

(Oh, and one more piece of jargon you will hear - 'Article 6' refers to a part of the Paris Agreement that deals with international cooperation, especially through markets).
