Thank you for listening to Shortwave from NPR.
Hey, Shore Wavers.
Emily Kwong here with Julia Simon from NPR's Climate Desk.
Hey, Julia.
Hey, Emily.
It's so good to be here.
I'm so excited to talk to you because you just got back from COP30, the UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, at the edge of the Amazon rainforest.
How was it?
Oh, man.
Today on the show, what almost didn't happen at the climate conference in Brazil.
Will this announcement happen?
Will it not happen?
Stay with us.
That would be a lovely idea.
Thank you.

Okay, Julia, so before we talk about whether this announcement happens or not, what was on the table at this year's UN Climate Conference called COP30?
Burning coal, oil, and natural gas is the single biggest driver of global warming.
Exactly.
I imagine that's really frustrating for so many countries who come to this conference.
