World leaders will be gathering in Dubai for COP28, the annual United Nations conference on climate change. It's the biggest event on the climate calendar, and this year's meeting comes at a fascinating moment for the climate – with wildfires, storms, and heatwaves felt across the last 12 months. In this episode, we look at what COP28 wants to achieve, as well as Australia's current climate policies.
