Beginning of the end for fossil fuels?
Listen now
Description
Almost 200 countries have adopted the first ever UN climate deal that calls for the world to transition away from fossil fuels. The deal comes after two weeks of hard-fought negotiations at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai. What implications does this hold for the future of humanity, and how can the international community ensure that commitments translate into tangible, real-world actions? Host Zhao Ying is joined by Wu Changhua, Acting Chair of the Governing Council of Asia Pacific Water Forum; Ma Jun, Director of the Institute of Public & Environment Affairs, a Beijing-based NGO; and Mike Bastin, Senior Lecturer with the University of Southampton in the UK.
