Nigel PlanerGUEST
Behaving naturally.
Alan LearHOST
Well, my first thought was naturalism as in the naturalist movement, which is obviously having something of a moment at present because of the ecological awareness and the COP29 summit and what have you.
Nigel PlanerGUEST
Oh, right.
Nigel PlanerGUEST
So naturalism is not to do with realistic acting.
Turana AlievaGUEST
And it's just years.
Turana AlievaGUEST
And when I see this change, it makes me happy that there is this mindset shift, whether it's due to the social media and more and more bloggers advocating for female rights, or maybe it's the impact of these international events that have been held here, like COP 29, World Urban Forum.
Turana AlievaGUEST
So whatever it is, there is a big change and shift.
AndrewHOST
Perfect.
John RobertsGUEST
So I don't think this is likely to happen soon.
John RobertsGUEST
And it is interesting that SESI at the time of COP29 in Baku last year was supposed, was expected to deliver a full assessment of the feasibility of the project.
John RobertsGUEST
There was no such assessment given.
John RobertsGUEST
There were comments made by SESI but there was no firm indication from them that they considered that the Azerbaijani project was a commercially feasible one.
Evelyn AchamGUEST
So this is what we did.
Evelyn AchamGUEST
This was on the road to COP29 in Azerbaijan.
Evelyn AchamGUEST
Hmm.
Evelyn AchamGUEST
We started with the research in Karamoja region, and this was a year where countries had to submit, like, their next set of NDCs.
6 MINS LATER
Evelyn AchamGUEST
So it was a five weeks tour.
Evelyn AchamGUEST
After that we went to COP.
Evelyn AchamGUEST
So by the time we reached COP29, it was easier for us because we had built a very strong network in Europe, so it was easier to collaborate like we had...
Evelyn AchamGUEST
I think to me it was one of the easiest COP because the collaboration was easier.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
The headlines.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
The renewable energy transition must not be a stampede of greed, UN Chief António Guterres tells the COP29 climate summit.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
Lebanon's displaced are exhausted and face constant danger, says the UN Refugee Agency.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
And in Gaza, markets are in decay as starvation looms, UN humanitarians warn.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
At the COP29 climate talks in Baku on Wednesday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has warned against a stampede of greed in the rush to source raw minerals that are essential to producing electric vehicles and solar panels.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
The energy transition that the world needs to cut emissions by moving away from our reliance on fossil fuels must be just, Mr Guterres said.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
Poor communities in developing countries risked being exploited and crushed by unregulated mining companies, the UN chief added.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
The UN climate summit began on Monday in Azerbaijan amid new record global temperature warnings and a call from the top United Nations envoy for countries to dig deeper for a new deal so developing nations can better withstand climate shocks.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
Addressing some 200 countries at COP29 in Baku, UN climate chief Simon Steele said that no country was immune from shocks and the world would pay a terrible price if nations did not reduce their emissions rapidly.
Simon StiellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So let's dispense with the idea that climate finance is charity.
Simon StiellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
An ambitious new climate finance goal is entirely in the self-interest of every single nation, including the largest and the wealthiest.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
And torture is never justified, says the UN's human rights chief, as the key international accord created to prevent it turns 40.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
On day four of the COP29 climate talks in Baku, UN chief António Guterres insisted on the need for robust net-zero plans to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial era.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
In a direct appeal to the leaders of cities, regions, businesses and financial institutions, To commit to deep decarbonisation policies, the Secretary-General urged them to lead a massive global effort to ensure that the amount of greenhouse gas produced is no more than what is removed from the atmosphere by 2050.
Daniel JohnsonHOST
You're out in front in the bid to help consumers, investors and regulators understand what net zero looks like, Mr Guterres said.
Simon SteeleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Baku holds a hugely important place in the recent history of international climate cooperation.
Simon SteeleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
At COP29, countries agreed a new global climate finance goal of $300 billion a year by 2035 and called on all actors to work together to scale up climate finance from public and private sources to at least $1.3 trillion a year by 2035.
Simon SteeleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Baku to Belang roadmap to 1.3 trillion carried this work forward with practical steps to make finance flow where it is needed most.
Simon SteeleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
For me, returning tobacco goes beyond symbolism.
Mike RobinsonHOST
Now, the other named representative of verbatim is the guy that we mentioned earlier, Lewis Wilson, who played William Lockwood in the reform sting.
Mike RobinsonHOST
He was formerly head of fossil fuel investigations at Global Witness, where his last story was an undercover investigation published with the BBC, revealing COP29 officials facilitating fossil fuel deals for a fake investor.
Mike RobinsonHOST
So this is the same kind of operation that was, again, run on reform this time.
Mike RobinsonHOST
His own site describes his work as investigations and strategic communications.
