Welcome to Your Planet, a new podcast series from the international news agency AFP, brought to you in association with The Conversation.
As world leaders are about to meet for the United Nations annual climate change conference, COP28, in Dubai, join us for this 8 part series. We’ll delve into solutions debated at the COP at a critical time for our planet. From the global south to the global north we’ll examine their potential and analyse how they aim to lead us into a more sustainable future.
We’ll also keep a close eye on how some of those solutions relate to the nine crucial environmental planetary boundaries that scientists say must not be crossed. Six out of the nine boundaries have already been breached according to the Stockholm University’s Resilience Centre. So, how do we reduce pressure and reinforce the stability and resilience of earth’s system?
We’ll also examine some ideas that are not viable solutions and debunk why they aren’t the fix they promise to offer us.
Your Planet will explore these initiatives every Wednesday starting on November 22.
Whether you’re an environmental enthusiast, a concerned citizen, or just curious about the future of our planet subscribe now and join us for Your Planet from AFP, coming soon.
