Manage episode 308185016 series 2973297
At COP26 - UN Climate Change Conference, countries committed to new, ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions this decade. Delivering on these promises will rely on the development, financing and scale up of green technologies. China and India, the two biggest producers, consumers and importers of coal, sparked the last-minute drama at the COP26 talks by forcing a compromise that led from "phase out" to be changed to "phase down."
What does this mean? And what about Norway and Norways role at COP26?
We invited:
- Stig Traavik, Director of Climate & Environment in Norad - the Norwegian Govt Agency for Development Cooperation
-Truls Gulowesen, Managing Director of Naturvernforbundet.
- Surbhi Singvi, manager for energy at World Business Council For Sustainable Development (WBCSD) for an update on COP26.
