United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) and UN News are joining forces to launch Talk & Action, a daily podcast bringing the latest climate news, scientific insights and solutions from the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP 31) in Antalya, Türkiye.
Starting on 9 November, the podcast will combine the international reporting of UN News with the scientific expertise of UNU-EHS to help audiences understand the discussions shaping global climate action, as well as what those discussions mean for people and the planet.
Talk & Action will feature conversations with scientists, policymakers, negotiators and people driving change. Each daily episode will explore key developments from COP 31, from climate negotiations and major announcements to emerging trends, new research and innovative solutions, bringing scientific perspectives and diverse voices to the issues shaping global climate action.
Through this collaboration, UNU-EHS aims to strengthen the connection between scientific research, international climate negotiations and public understanding. By bringing scientific perspectives into daily reporting from COP 31, the Institute will help audiences make sense of complex discussions, understand their implications and explore the opportunities for meaningful climate action.
