What COP28 Meant for California — and the Planet

The 28th United Nations climate conference, COP28, ended Wednesday in Dubai with an agreement among nearly 200 nations to transition away from fossil fuels and achieve net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. California took the stage at the talks and joined subnational governments in task forces, including one committed to reducing methane emissions. We’ll talk about what the conference accomplished and where it fell short and analyze California’s role as a leader — and oil-producer — in fighting the climate crisis.

Guests:

Wade Crowfoot, secretary, California Natural Resources Agency
