How Could We?

The climate crisis is a complex global issue threatening the way we live and its impacts are being felt more more severely around the world. We wonder: how could we have let this happen? People increasingly recognise that gradual change is not enough. Join us for a series of conversations about building hope, curiosity – and excitement – for a just and desirable future. We’ll hear from some remarkable people who are putting truly transformative and innovative solutions into practice. We’ll ask them: "How could we achieve a climate-resilient, inclusive world for everybody?"

    S7E5 - How Could We? Address climate injustice for the world’s most vulnerable nations?

    In this new episode of How Could We?, recorded in front of the LDC’s delegation office during COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, Anne-Sophie Garrigou interviews Binyam Gebreyes, diplomacy lead at IIED (International Institute for Environment and Development), where he supports the Least Developed Countries (LDC) group. Binyam's role ensures that LDC priorities and needs are amplified throughout the COP negotiations. In this conversation, Binyam talks about the power dynamics that shape climate negotiations, highlighting the challenges faced by LDCs in these spaces. He discusses the importance of the LDC group’s collective approach to counteract the influence of larger, more powerful nations, and how strategic engagement through high-level dialogue and early communications helps elevate their voice. Binyam also explains the significant progress made on the loss and damage agenda, where the LDC group has been pushing for tangible financial solutions to address climate impacts that are no longer preventable or adaptable. Binyam also talks about the lessons he’s drawn from his work on the LDC Initiative for Effective Adaptation and Resilience (LIFE AR), highlighting the need for programmatic, community-led adaptation solutions that reduce transaction costs and allow local communities to own and drive their own adaptation strategies. This episode provides insights into the role of LDCs at COP29 and their ongoing fight for climate justice in the face of systemic power imbalances.

    S7E3 - How Could We? Make COP29 matter - Key challenges and what’s at stake

    In this new episode of How Could We?, Anne-Sophie Garrigou interviews Megan Rowling, editor of Climate Home News, to discuss the main objectives and challenges of COP29. With years of experience covering international climate negotiations, Megan unpacks what’s at stake at this year's conference in Azerbaijan. From the urgent need for a new climate finance goal to support developing countries, to the implications of a potential U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, this conversation highlights key challenges and anticipated outcomes. Megan explains why, despite criticisms, the COP process remains crucial in mitigating global climate risks, preventing what could otherwise be “runaway climate change.” She shares insights on the obstacles to securing sufficient climate finance, especially in light of geopolitical tensions and pressures on both wealthy and emerging economies to contribute. They also discuss topics expected to dominate media headlines, like the global transition from fossil fuels and the evolving dynamics in climate finance governance. This episode sheds light on the pressing issues shaping COP29 and why the decisions made here will affect climate action worldwide.
