[162] COP27 Explainer – what happened, what didn’t happen, and why? With Laura Young

COP 27...<br />What happened?<br />What didn't happen?<br />And why?<br /><br />For those of us in the UK, COP26 in Glasgow last year felt like a BIG deal - it was everywhere in the media while it was running, and schools, businesses and organisations were all keen to get involved.<br />This year's COP (COP27) has felt very different. And I found myself struggling to follow what was going on, and getting a handle on any outcomes.<br /><br />I'm so delighted that the brilliant Laura Young was able to make some time to come back on and chat to us all about it. Laura was at COP26 last year, and did a brilliant Beginner's Guide to COP26 episode for us, followed up by a debrief afterwards. And it was fabulous to chat to her about what happened at COP27. <br />SO MUCH to take away from this episode - I feel so much more informed after chatting to Laura, I hope you do too!<br /><br />And of course, I LOVED Laura's call to action at the end - to make our voices heard not just about the stuff we DON'T want to be happening in our local area (eg fracking) but super importantly to make our voices heard around the stuff we DO want to see happening (eg cycle lanes, onshore wind etc).<br />What positive stuff has happened near you? Or is in the pipeline? Who can you contact to let them know that they have your support?<br /><br />Enjoy this episode!
