10.4 Smaller Scale, Greater Impact: Subnational Climate Diplomacy at COP30

The United Nations climate summit—also known as COP—will take place in Belém, Brazil, starting on November 10th. This year, the United States will not have an official presence at COP30 due to the elimination of the State Department's Office of Global Change, making it more important than ever for mayors and other subnational leaders to engage. In this episode, Kate Johnson, regional director for North America at C40, sits down with EESI to talk about subnational climate action and how it fits in with COP and international collaboration more broadly.
