11- Live from COP28 - new perspectives on cooling

In this episode I speak to UK cooling experts at the COP28 meetings in Dubai in 2023. We discussed why cooling is gathering momentum as a key part of global climate change talks, what impact the "Cool COP" and the Global Cooling Pledge signed this year by countries including the UK will have, and explore how asking questions in a different way can give us a new perspective on sustainability.  Im joined by Catarina Marques FInstR of LSBU and an IOR Board Trustee and Graeme Maidment and Rachel Steller who have been involved in the initiatives such as Mission Innovation, the Global Cooling Stocktake and Global Cooling Pledge.
