Bem-vindo ao podcast do Comité Económico e Social Europeu «A perspetiva dos cidadãos». Neste episódio, analisamos a COP28, que se realiza no Dubai, onde o mundo se reúne para abordar a questão premente das alterações climáticas. Contamos com a participação de vozes perspicazes: Anna Gumbau, jornalista especializada em questões climáticas, Diandra Ní Bhuachalla, delegada do CESE para a juventude, Willem Vriesendorp, fundador e diretor executivo da Sustainable Public Affairs, e Jule Könneke, do Instituto Alemão para os Assuntos Internacionais e Segurança.
Começamos com o ponto de vista de Anna Gumbau sobre a escolha controversa de Dubai como local para a realização da COP28, abordando os desafios que os jornalistas enfrentam ao cobrir eventos tão importantes. Diandra Ní Bhuachalla destaca a urgência de fazer ouvir as vozes dos jovens nos debates sobre o clima e partilha connosco a sua esperança de que seja celebrado um tratado de não proliferação de combustíveis fósseis. Willem Vriesendorp insiste na necessidade de as empresas assumirem um papel de liderança em matéria de sustentabilidade, ao passo que Jule Könneke explora as dimensões de segurança da política para as alterações climáticas e o papel da sociedade civil.
