In a special episode, Tommy and Ben discuss the upcoming COP28 conference in the United Arab Emirates.

Then, Ben speaks with John Kerry, the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate from the US, about what’s on the agenda this year and the challenges of securing funding to follow through on the global commitments made towards mitigating climate change.
