Season 5, Episode 3 - Unpacking COP29: Financing the future

In this special episode hosts Mark Maslin and Simon Chin Yee give us behind the scenes insights and their verdicts on the outcome of COP29.  This COP was mainly about the money and went into extra time, but our hosts unpack it and take a deep dive into the key results with the help of special guests in the studio Priti Parikh, Professor of Infrastructure Engineering and International Development, at UCL’s Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction and Anoushka Jain, a UCL Politics and International Relations student and member of the UK Youth Climate Coalition.  We even round off this episode with some post COP music therapy!   Let the spine tingling music wash over you.  It’s a new composition from the collaboration between UCL and the BBC Young Composer project. UCL teamed up with the BBC Young Composer competition to inspire the winners to create brand new pieces based on UCL’s climate science. Composing for the Climate is a collaboration between UCL and the BBC as part of East Bank – the UK’s newest culture quarter on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park where UCL has a campus.  BBC music credits:©  BBC ‘Gaia’ composed by BBC Young Composer competition winner Advaith Jagannath.
