What's behind the COP climate circus | Rethinking Humanitarianism

from The New Humanitarian

The UN climate summit, COP30, is getting under way in Brazil, with global temperatures rising – and global cooperation under deep strain. Ten years on from the Paris Agreement, the UN Secretary-General warns that the world has missed its targets to limit global temperature rise. The stakes are high. But do COP discussions match the urgency? The New Humanitarian journalists unpack what happens behind the scenes at COP, and what humanitarians and everyday citizens can do while negotiators wrestle over targets and funding. Guests:  Will Worley, staff reporter and editor for policy at The New Humanitarian   Namukabo Werungah, staff editor and reporter for breaking news and social at The New Humanitarian Got a question or feedback?
