In this episode of Science Refresh, Grace and Meg dive into COP28, spilling the tea on this year’s climate conference. 

From the first ever global stocktake, to the decision to ‘transition’ away from fossil fuels, this year's COP in UAE was filled with negotiations and pledges, as well as its fair share of controversy. 

Grace shares a new insight into the politics of COP28, talking about the role of big emitters as well as the issue of individual vs governmental responsibility. 

Meg dives deeper into the money at the heart of COP28, talking about the multi-billion dollar schemes that are being funded to help tackle the climate crisis.
