Day 2: The Energy Gang at The Reuters Global Energy Transition Conference 2024
Ed Crooks is joined by Amy Harder and Bill Spindle from Cipher, the publication supported by Breakthrough Energy – the clean energy network founded by Bill Gates. Amy and Bill have been in Dubai since the start of the conference, and they analyse the big stories to come out of the first few days.
The loss and damage fund is the main focus; a few hundred million has been pledged to help developing nations deal with the impacts of climate change, but it’s a drop in the bucket for what’s needed.
Also, COP28 itself: there’s debate on the effectiveness of these talks every year, but there have been positive stories already. The tripling of renewables, pledges on methane reduction and loss and damages have all been high on the agenda.
Listen in as we kick off our special podcast series, live from Expo City in Dubai at COP28.
