In this episode, environmental justice educator and strategist Arielle King shares her recent experience at COP28 in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The conversation starts by exploring the importance of radical joy and imagination in climate work. Arielle was one of the organizers of the Entertainment & Culture Pavilion as well as Hope House at COP28. We discuss outcomes of the negotiations, the Loss & Damage fund, the Global Stocktake, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the role of protests at COP. Arielle shares the importance and impact of storytelling, art, culture, and collaboration in creating a just climate future.

Enjoy this special end of year extended episode to recap COP28 and the show will be back after the holidays!
