Bu bölüm hakkında

<p>Can we alter the course of climate change? One woman who can answer with authority is the internationally recognised leader on global climate change, Christiana Figueres. An absolutely remarkable woman, Ms Figueres was formerly the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Demonstrating immense diplomacy, resilience and determination, she successfully orchestrated negotiations with 196 countries to reach the historical Paris Agreement of 2015. Now hugely decorated, she is the co-founder of an organisation called Global Optimism, co-host of the podcast “Outrage &amp; Optimism” and the co-author of the recently published book, “The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis".</p><br><p>As the 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) approaches next week, Ms. Figueres sits down with Annie to explain where the world is right now - what has been agreed, what needs to be done and importantly, what YOU can do. As well as discussing climate change, she explores her own changes, reveals her greatest obstacles and shares the influence of her father in making her the woman she is today; one who, with stubborn optimism makes the impossible possible. This is an important episode for anyone who wants a better future for our planet.</p><br><p>You can buy a copy of The Future We Choose here: https://www.globaloptimism.com/the-future-we-choose </p><br><p>Find out more about Christiana Figueres here: https://christianafigueres.com/#/</p><br><p>Changes is a deaf friendly podcast, transcripts can be accessed here:<a href="https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
