Good COP, Bad COP with Eoin Galavan; Cop 28 Kicks Off In The UAE

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theclimatealarm

Ciara, Darragh and Anna are delighted to welcome Eoin Galavan back to do our news roundup with us.

Eoin Galavan is a clinical psychologist and one of the founding members of the Psychological Society of Ireland’s Environmental and Climate special interest group. Eoin did a couple of special episodes with us over the summer that were hugely popular, helping us unpick climate anxiety and the psychology of how we deal with climate change (links below).

This week it's all about COP28 kicking off in Dubai. What can we expect from the annual gathering of the countries of the world? What will the global stocktake tell us and will there be progress on phasing out fossil fuels? (and why is a Fossil Fuel CEO the president??).

We also look at how petrostates are planning to flood the world with more oil and what might happen with food shortages.

Actions for this week:

Join an Emergency Protest for Palestine Around Ireland – Saturday 1st december  

Tuesday 5th December online, listen to Eoin's lecture on why we are stuck at the Psychological Society of Ireland lecture series
