Inside COP26

On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, climate negotiator Dr Siobhan McDonnell and disaster risk expert Dr Robert Glasser join us to look back at what was achieved at COP26, what wasn’t, and what comes next.It was billed as an extraordinary climate conference - the ‘last chance saloon’ according to Prince Charles - but in the end how different was COP26 from previous conferences? What do the outcomes of the conference mean for climate-vulnerable nations, especially in the Pacific? And what needs to happen over the next 12 months to ensure that COP27 in Egypt is a success?
