Did I get caught up in the #cop28 spin or did something happen here in Dubai? A parting thought in 60 seconds.
🔷 Late night talks resulted in a deal in Dubai, but does it go far enough? We discuss the outcome of COP28 w/ Professor @JafryT AND 🔷 50 years of commercial radio in Scotland - we mark @1025Clyde1's major milestone with @GBXANTHEMS & broadcaster Tony Currie STV @ 10.40
Mary Robinson met #COP28 President Sultan al-Jaber. They agreed on there being no time to waste delivering an ambitious outcome. The Elders call on Parties at @COP28_UAE to unequivocally commit to phasing out all #FossilFuels, tripling renewables and ensuring a just transition.
At #COP28 I announced a further £2 million funding for loss and damage, taking @ScotGov's Climate Justice Fund to £36 million. @c40cities and @GiveDirectly will each receive £1 million to tackle climate-induced loss and damage in communities worst affected by climate change.
