S1E12: Roadblocks to major climate conference COP25: Green Pulse Ep 12

Green Pulse Ep 12: Roadblocks to major climate conference COP25


16:06 mins


Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2019, The Straits Times
dives into all things green, blue and brown. Green Pulse analyses
the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity
conservation to climate change. 


This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan
(@audreytrp) and climate change editor David Fogarty
(@FogartyClimate) chat with climate change observers Melissa Low
and Eric Bea, researchers from the National University of
Singapore, on roadblocks that have emerged ahead of the upcoming
United Nations climate change conference.


COP25, as the conference is known as, was supposed to be held in
Chile in December 2019. But protests there led Chilean president
Sebastián Piñera to cancel the conference barely a month before
it was to commence. The conference will now take place over the
same period in Madrid, Spain. Separately, United States president
Donald Trump on Nov 4 formerly gave notice that the country will
be pulling out of the Paris Accord. 


Tune in to this episode to find out why COP25 is so important,
and how these roadblocks will affect negotiations.
