Here is the blog I did on COP28 climate summit for the International Society for Sustainability Professionals (ISSP). And here is a podcast interview I did for The Futurenauts, with may part starting from around 10:40 mins in.

All In Podcast
Delighted to see/hear the launch of the All In podcast I did with Chris Coulter of GlobeScan and David Grayson of Cranfield University, before I flew to COP28 in Dubai.
Masdar City And Abu Dhabi
An astonishing day, starting in Dubai and involving a fascinating visit to an aquaculture project at Masdar City. A key focus is to use aquaculture to drive desert reclamation. Reminded me of how energetically I tried to get into oceanography and aquaculture back in the early 1970s, before turning my attentions to the environment and, later, sustainability. Then on to Abu Dhabi, where I spoke at an extremely glitzy open air event, in front of the Cultural Foundation and with Jupiter shining brilliantly overhead. Highlights of the evening can be seen here.
A Different Climate At COP28
We arrived in Dubai for the COP28 climate summit just after midnight on Sunday 3rd, returning on Friday 8th. In between, Louise (Kjellerup Roper) and I experienced multiple different worlds – hinted at in the following images. A separate sequence on our subsequent trip to Masdar City and Abu Dhabi follows. Among other things, we launched our new white paper – on greenwashing and green hushing – with the First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and the UAE Global Councils on the SDGs.
Off To COP
We have done a new, short video ahead of our flight to Dubai tomorrow. More anon, hopefully.
