GLOBAL GOALS SPECIAL : Our Review on COP26






In November 2021 our Founder Romi Sumaria attended COP26 and we wanted to share his review of the conference.  There are mixed feelings about the success of the conference, and despite the press reporting on some of the big failings of governments and lack of diverse representation there were so many parts of the conference that they didn’t cover. In this special episode of The Oblique Life Global Goals we share our experience on the ground at COP26, the conversations we had and a range of powerful messages from individuals across the globe, generations and sectors. 

Being able to spend time in the Blue Zone (the area where the key negotiations took place) Romi was able to speak on panels, meet hundreds of individuals from all around the world and learn about what different people are doing to drive climate action. He was simply blown away by the energy, optimism and perseverance from the delegates. Here are some of the themes he explored:

  1. What climate action is being done across the globe

  2. How are art, technology and climate action coming together to drive change

  3. What do people on the ground think about youth participation

  4. First impressions of COP26 and how it  compare to previous ones

  5. Messages of hope for our listeners

There is so much work to be done but this episode is a reminder to all to keep believing because if this small group of individuals are so driven to make a change imagine the multiplier effect. We hope you enjoy and a special shout out to all the incredible guests who shared their thoughts and time with us:
