Kate RingnessGUEST
Yeah, I'm actually going to bring up a little story.
Kate RingnessGUEST
So it was Climate Week last year and we had the inauguration.
Kate RingnessGUEST
A month later, I got fired because I was a probationary employee because I shifted from the secretary's office to Office of Policy.
Kate RingnessGUEST
So I only had like a month tenure.
Kate RingnessGUEST
So I got fired and then I got rehired.
Kate RingnessGUEST
And then right before Climate Week, I left the DOE.
Kate RingnessGUEST
And that was when I started my bike riding.
Kate RingnessGUEST
I was feeling really, really low.
Sara DeweyGUEST
And it really fills in the data gap in an important way in the absence of more comprehensive federal reporting requirements.
Sara DeweyGUEST
Abby, can you talk a little bit about the database you helped launch at New York Climate Week?
Abby HusselbeeHOST
Absolutely.
Abby HusselbeeHOST
As part of the Salata Institute's Corporate Climate Targets Project, last month, our colleagues at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Harvard Business School released a publicly available database that tracks voluntary climate commitments, meaning companies that have set a forward-looking commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over time.
Illya AzaroffGUEST
And yes, I'm happy to celebrate that.
Illya AzaroffGUEST
It was just last week at New York Climate Week that we officially made the launch.
Illya AzaroffGUEST
And disaster risk reduction and resilience as a commitment or a pledge for firms is what's on the table.
Illya AzaroffGUEST
Now, what that means is, is back in 2016, the United Nations adopted the Disaster Risk Reduction Sendai Agreement.
Ben FordhamHOST
He's taken trips to the Solomon Islands, the United States, Brazil, the UK and Turkey.
Ben FordhamHOST
Taxpayers have been slugged a whopping $35,000 for a trip... to attend the New York Climate Week.
Ben FordhamHOST
$20,000 has gone towards flights to the Big Apple, another $12,500 on accommodation.
Ben FordhamHOST
And just days later, he slugged taxpayers another $37,000 for a trip to Brazil.
Jane KinninmontHOST
I found it interesting.
Jane KinninmontHOST
I went to some of New York Climate Week when I was in New York for UNGA and there were quite a lot of state level officials from around the UK, some of them from Republican states and cities saying, We need to deal with climate, but we're not allowed to talk about climate.
Jane KinninmontHOST
So it's all packaged together under resilience.
Jane KinninmontHOST
But we'll come up with projects that are trying to safeguard our cities from floods and the causes of floods.
John GeorgeHOST
Thanks so much for being here with us today.
John GeorgeHOST
We are coming off the back of New York Climate Week.
John GeorgeHOST
And as you can imagine, it was even for yourself, it was probably a pretty intense but inspiring and insightful week.
John GeorgeHOST
We're at this point now where climate change used to be treated as its own lane of foreign policy.
Dan DelureyHOST
But anyway, Susie, Susie is I'm going to say this, Susie, the preeminent expert in terms of climate education for young people.
Dan DelureyHOST
So at Climate Week, I had the opportunity to go and hear a keynote.
Dan DelureyHOST
that Susie delivered at the Museum of Natural History for a major event.
Dan DelureyHOST
And she had some nice photos and video.

Jono AnzaloneGUEST
And I want to believe that we are all imperfect and don't all have the solutions and just feel rest assured that we can point all of our energy towards the root cause of the issue and not tear ourselves apart.
Jono AnzaloneGUEST
And that's something that I think is it's given me great hope.
Dan DelureyHOST
So, Hannah, before we leave, I know at Climate Week you were telling me how much you dislike Yale.
Dan DelureyHOST
Do you want to say anything?
GavanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Of course, Many of those countries are those small island nation states in the Pacific.
GavanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
However, the pre-cop and the events leading up to pre-cop, such as the UN General Assembly, New York Climate Week, were disappointing again when it comes to Australia setting a clear ambition and leadership.
GavanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
mind that Australia is head of negotiations for COP 31, so neither from the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in his speeches in particular, but even from Climate Minister Chris Bowen, who is head of negotiations for COP, they're still failing to set a clear agenda, leadership and vision for this COP, and in particular what to do about fossil fuels and big fossil fuel project approvals here and around the world.
ShayHOST
So do you think that might kind of change after COP? There will be kind of like a reshaping of fossil fuel policy following COP? Or do you think that without kind of a clear idea going into it, that will be quite hard to establish?
Josephine TseGUEST
protesting the development of a coal plant, I believe in Kenya, and they want to stop the development, and basically driving it around strategic areas like embassies and where the UN is.
Josephine TseGUEST
Around New York during New York Climate Week, it's all about getting the message out.
Josephine TseGUEST
The ask came at a very tight timeline, I would say, We only had a few weeks to help them develop the creative and pull it off.
Josephine TseGUEST
But with the information that we were given, the timeline, Audrey made miracles happen.
20 MINS LATER
Josephine TseGUEST
I try to get involved in those types of senses.
Josephine TseGUEST
Right now I'm doing some photography for Toronto climate week.
Josephine TseGUEST
I was just in climate week, Sydney, and I will go to climate week, like New York climate week.
Josephine TseGUEST
And just kind of seeing and meeting different people there and seeing what, how people are putting on these events.
Ekaterina SkyGUEST
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Ekaterina SkyGUEST
And like, actually, you know, it was fascinating for me to I'm now in New York, and we just had a New York Climate Week.
Ekaterina SkyGUEST
And I was on a panel for Art for Impact, excuse me, Art for Impact.
Ekaterina SkyGUEST
And it was, you know, I've been in this for 10 years.
