23:06Now PlayingFormer Unilever CEO Paul Polman cautions those with high expectations for this week’s summit in Dubai. But he says there’s hope in the private sector. He joins Dave and Fran as the COP28 climate summit kicks off.
Former Unilever Chief Executive Officer Paul Polman has a word of caution when it comes to high expectations for the COP28 climate summit in Dubai this week. The event, hosted by the United Arab Emirates—a global giant in the production of fossil fuels—will not produce a “magic wand to solve our climate issues,” he says.
Polman, who has attended more than 15 COP summits and is co-author of Net Positive, joins David Merritt and Francine Lacqua on this week’s In the City to discuss the summit’s targets, likely outcomes and progress on goals set at previous meetings. Polman warns that “we are creating problems at a faster speed than we are applying the solutions.”
Is London having another moment? Shaken by Brexit, decimated by the pandemic, threatened by new ways of working and a worsening cost-of-living crisis, the city remains Europe’s (and arguably the world’s) beating heart for finance and for culture. In the wake of turmoil, The City of London is reinventing itself. Every week on In The City, Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua and David Merritt go behind the scenes in the Square Mile and the wider metropolis, uncovering the stories and speaking to the people that matter.
