COP27? Let Me Sharm Up

Recorded on the ground in Sharm El-Sheikh as negotiations got to the pointy end of things at COP27, your intrepid hosts ditch the usual format in this very special episode of Let Me Sum Up.Listen in as we dive into all things COP27: the hot button issues in the negotiations, the vibe on the ground and around the pavilions, Team Australia’s presence at this COP (coffee diplomacy included) as well as our personal highlights across an incredibly packed couple of weeks full of speeches, events and launches of papers! So many papers! Don’t worry Summer-upperers, we’ve got material to keep this pod going in perpetuity. Frankie's One More Thing was a look ahead at future COPs! COP28 next year will be in Dubai, UAE, and early insights from the presidency have energy transition, finance for adaptation and inclusivity from a gender and youth lens are key thematics. Following Dubai we are looking at Eastern Europe in 2024  (Prague anyone?) and Brazil in 2025 before a potential Australian COP31 in 2026! Tennant's One More Thing was to promote a new avenue of Let Me Sum Up *cough* propaganda *cough* CONTENT! If you were following along on our socials the last couple of weeks you will have seen us slaving away to bring you content and daily video reports on the goings on. These are now all available on our shiny new Youtube channel where you can binge watch them all over again and see cameos from legends like Anna Freeman, Matt Kean, Jojo Rouse, Richie Merzian, Darren Miller and Krista Singleton-Cambage.Luke's One More Thing is to ask all of YOU, dear Summer-upperers, for your vote on what climate-related movie we should watch and discuss for our very first holiday special and last episode of the year before the X-mas break. Should it be Soylent Green, The Day After Tomorrow or Don’t Look Up? Make your vote count RIGHT HERE.And that’s a wrap on COP27 from us in Sharm El-Sheikh Summer-Upperers! We shall see you next time and until then, please keep tweeting your thoughts to us at @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed and @FrankieMuskovic and if you would like to weave some golden threads through our back catalogue, give us your feelpinions or suggest papers to read we are always here for that - hit us up at [email protected].
