COP28 wrapped up earlier this week, and in today’s episode of the ESG Insider podcast we’re bringing you key takeaways from the UN’s annual climate change conference.

We cover highlights from the first-ever global stocktake and the big themes that played out throughout the gathering in Dubai — including overlaps between climate, nature and water; the evolution of climate data, standards and regulation; the role of financial institutions in addressing climate change; and the importance of including diverse voices and youth perspectives in those solutions.

Guests in the episode include:

Robin Millington, CEO of nonprofit Planet Tracker
Justina Nixon-Saintil, Chief Impact Officer at global technology company IBM
Gary White, CEO and co-founder of nonprofits Water.org and Water Equity
Kristen Sullivan, a partner at Deloitte who leads Sustainability and ESG Services
Masa Takanashi, Group Chief Sustainability Officer at big Japanese bank SMBC Group
Ana Voicilă, a member of the Young European Leadership Delegation at COP28
