Negotiating Tomorrow: COP29’s Impact on Intergenerational Fairness

Intergenerational Fairness Day Podcast

Get ready for December 16th because our new episode is about THE intergenerational fairness challenge: climate change! COP29 was held in Baku, Azerbaijan just a few weeks ago and one thing is clear: the stakes have never been higher. With global temperatures nearing the 1.5°C threshold, the decisions made—or avoided—at these conferences will shape the future for generations to come. In this episode, we’ll take a closer look at what happened at COP29. What progress was made? Where did the negotiations fall short? And how do these outcomes impact intergenerational fairness? And you're not just hearing it from anywhere: Lena's guest Arthur is an Ambassador for the FRFG and experienced COP29 firsthand. Together they unpack all the successes and shortcomings at this year's Conference of the Parties. From funding gaps and geopolitical dynamics to accountability issues and backdoor deals – we have it all.
