COP information

COP 27:

In advance of the 2022 COP27, we've put together all the information you needed to know.

COP27 interviews:

Our pre-COP27 interview with Myles Allen

In this short interview, Professor Myles Allen (CBE) answered some our questions in the advent of COP27: On the potential of COP27 to strengthen commitment to stay within 1.5 degrees of warming, the role of the UK at COP and leading climate progress, and what he's looking forward to at the conference, as an expert in the field of climate science.

Disclaimer: It should be mentioned that Allen is an advocate for Carbon Capture Storage (CCS); an often favoured but risky technological solution for climate change, that involves capturing and storing CO2 beneath the seabed. He mentions this in some of his answers to questions, however CCS is controversial as the science underlying it is still uncertain, and could backfire if relied upon and used at scale - thus we'd like to underline this opinion is not upheld by OCS, and not to be undertaken without critical thought!
What really happened at COP27: Our post-COP interview with Alexis McGivern:

In this interview Alexis McGivern answered our questions about what actually happened at COP27, after the anticipation and in some instances disregard in the lead up to it. She explains the important relationship between activists and negotiators at the conference, the exciting progress made that could bring the end of greenwashing and countries evasion of climate responsibility, and the work yet to be done.
