Climate Cheesecake

S1.4 NDC ain't NBD

20 Sep 2022

Description

COP27 is happening in November 2022, and that means.... global promises! Time to hold up our end of the deal. But…what is a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and who decides how these climate commitments are made? And do these commitments actually translate into actual climate action? We may only be scratching the surface of COP27, but we will get to the rest of it soon. The outcomes of COP27 are important because it affects our lives. So how can we take charge of our climate futures? @theweirdandwild and @sankarology chat about it. References: 1. COP27 - Held in Egypt this year! https://cop27.eg/ 2.
