An overview of the outcomes of the COP 28 climate conference in Dubai, where all countries worldwide have committed to moving away from fossil fuels. The chapter also touches upon the discovery of a hidden mountain range beneath the Earth's surface.
Semafor’s Tim McDonnell says what made COP28 successful was the same thing that made climate activists skeptical about the conference: its host was an oil executive.
This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Isabel Angell, edited by Miranda Kennedy, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by David Herman, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
