🎙Redefining Energy Ep158 and 159: COP29. In the Zone #applepodcast https://lnkd.in/eweCntq #spotify https://lnkd.in/d7SYADs As #COP29Baku veers towards its conclusion, two episodes where we dive deep into the functioning of COPs. Conference of Parties. Cartel of Oil Producers? China Omni Potent? It is easy to be cynical, because, underneath the surface, COPs remain essential. 158: COP29 is supposed to be the “Finance COP”, whatever that means, but all major head of states will not participate. Are COP still useful? Is it the correct format? Who is really committed and who is just paying lip service to fighting Climate Change? Those questions and more with Lord Adair Turner, chair of the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) a global coalition of companies committed to achieving a net zero global economy by 2050. Lord Turner is a leading British businessman and academic, former Chairman of the Financial Services Authority (2008-13). From 2008-2012 Lord Turner was the first chair of the UK’s Climate Change Committee. 159: Chaos, Shock and Hope Live in Baku to discuss with Bruce Douglas, CEO Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) and tireless promoter of Renewable Energy. Bruce is the one who coined the famous “Triple Renewables” rallying cry, and has been rewarded by joining the precious list of TIME 100 Climate leaders. COP in a few words: Shambolic, Rudderless and Essential nevertheless. The world of renewables is at the centre stage, dealing with diplomats who are doing politics without a calculator while policy makers are busy inventing more alphabet soup concepts while ignoring geopolitics. COP is the summary of the world’s contradictions. COPs are useless and irreplaceable at the same time.
