Can we negotiate a better future for the planet?
About this episode
The episode explores the connection between international climate talks and local actions, focusing on the upcoming COP30 conference and its implications for the planet's future.
Your grocery bills keep climbing, your favorite park isn’t what it used to be and small talk about the weather keeps turning into anxious conversation about the state of the planet. In short, you’re feeling the effects of the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and land degradation. But the high-level conferences designed to tackle these crises – like the upcoming COP30 climate conference in Brazil – can feel like they’re on another planet, far from the everyday lives of the people whose future is affected by the outcomes. In episode 6 of TalkLandscape, we explore how international talks connect to action on the ground, unpack the key topics to watch for at COP30 and learn how the climate crisis, biodiversity and land degradation are connected through the three Rio Conventions. With guests Benjamín Carvajal, Brian Kithinji and Alokita Jha. For more information, visit: thinklandscape.globallandscapesforum.org
