Description

A little more than two weeks after the end of COP27, the Eurasian Climate Brief team takes stock on what the summit in Sharm El-Cheikh has achieved, and where it fell short: How significant is the deal on the ‘loss and damage’ fund, aimed at compensating developing countries for irreversible climate impacts? And what progress has made, if any, in the fight to phase out fossil fuels? Needless to say that all of this is to be read against the background of the Russian attack on Ukraine, the terrible consequences of which influenced much of this conference.We discuss this with Svitlana Romanko, an environmental lawyer and the founder of the Ukrainian NGO Razom We Stand. Svitlana will also brief us on her powerful protests and campaigns in the past months, from calls for a total ban on Russian fossil fuels imports to confrontations with Total’s CEO and Russian delegates.To find out more about Razom We stand, visit https://razomwestand.org/en.The Eurasian Climate Brief is a podcast dedicated to climate issues in the region stretching from Eastern Europe to Russia down to the Caucasus and Central Asia.This episode is supported by n-ost, The Moscow Times and the European Climate Foundation, and made by:Natalie Sauer, a French British environmental journalist and English-language editor for The Conversation.  A former reporter for Climate Home News, her words have also appeared in international media such as Le Monde Diplomatique, Politico Europe, Open Democracy, Euractiv and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.Boris Schneider, European Journalism Project Manager at Clean Energy Wire (CLEW).
