For our third episode, Luke and Sarah recap a jam-packed day of speeches from the likes of King Charles, Rishi Sunak, Mia Mottley and Antonio Guterres. They also cover the big announcements in brief, including a new first-of-its-kind global pledge on sustainable food systems. 

With Matt out of action (the heat has unfortunately made him feel rather unwell), Sarah serves up two guest interviews live from the Blue Zone.  

First up is a discussion with Adam Elman, Google’s head of sustainability for EMEA. He gives us an update on 24/7 clean energy tracking, artificial intelligence for the low-carbon transition and digital solutions for climate adaptation.  

Then, we ask the NDC Partnership’s global director Pablo Viera whether recent warnings about the gap between the Paris Agreement’s trajectories and emissions forecasting can provide a much-needed wake-up call for national climate ambitions, actions and accountability mechanisms.
