We left you all on a cliffhanger last episode, so for those of you paying absolutely no attention to news reports we’re here to resolve all plotlines! How much did the developed world commit in climate finance? Did the UAE dialogue generate crackling conversation, or trail off awkwardly? And how many thrilling breakthroughs can one Article 6 have in a single COP? We reveal all! 

To note:

• If you want to dig into any of the texts referenced in this episode we recommend Carbon Brief’s excellent negotiating texts tracker. 
• If you would like to supplement the sleep deprived, discursive ramblings of this podcast with some actual reporting, their COP29 outcomes summary is second to none.
• But if you are all like ‘read? Pfft. Give me more pods!’ you can check out Luke’s interview at COP with Assistant Minister for Climate and Energy Josh Wilson over on First Fuel.
