COP26 | Dispatch 4

The Threshold team is in Glasgow to cover what's happening at COP26 - the 26th time leaders from around the world have gathered to try to solve humanity's biggest and most complicated problem: the damage we're doing to Earth's climate. Today, we're looking at loss and damage, a crucial part of the conversation at COP26.  This is part of our reporting for season four of Threshold, which will be coming out in a few months. We don't want to give away everything about that quite yet, but while we're here, at such an important international event, we're going to send you some updates here on the podcast feed and on our social media channels about what's happening, what we're learning, and who we're talking to. Stay tuned for more. Please support our independent nonprofit journalism by making a donation today. Learn more about Threshold on our website.

Om Podcasten

Threshold is a Peabody Award-winning podcast about people and the planet. Each season, we do a deep dive into one pressing environmental story, exploring it through the intersections of science, politics, culture, and environmental justice. We aim to make space for thoughtful, honest, and intersectional conversations about human relationships with the natural world. Season 4: "Time to 1.5" documents this profound moment in human history, when the window for keeping global heating to 1.5ºC is still open—just barely. Season 3: "The Refuge." The controversy over drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Season 2: "Cold Comfort." Climate change in the Arctic through the eyes of people who live there. Season 1: "Oh Give Me a Home." Can we ever have wild, free-roaming bison again?
