Transcript
- Wayne Hubbard: Ian and I want to tell you about our new podcast series, Unfolding, which is going to unfold the circular economy. And we are specifically looking at the fact that circular economy is on the action agenda at COP 31 in Antalya. And we see that as a massive opportunity. So we really want to get a little bit deeper into what exactly is the COP process, ⁓ 'cause we are definitely not experts in that. ⁓ but also just the fact that we need to raise awareness of the fact it is on the COP agenda ⁓ and then explore what we potentially could get out of that or what we should aim to get out of that COP process in terms of the circular economy. Now w we're not experts. Ian knows a bit more because he was probably more involved with COP twenty six in Glasgow. But we are by no means experts of the COP process. It's highly complicated and complex and difficult to penetrate. And we'll be going to Antalya in November and we'll be doing our best to influence the discussions in the agenda, which is quite a big task we've set ourselves. But by interviewing guests who know more than we do on COP and how we might. Talk about circular economy at COP. We hope to educate ourselves and educate you at the same time and raise awareness that this issue is being discussed. And we will be ⁓ launching this formally next Tuesday, ⁓ the first of September. There will be ⁓ plan is to have 10 episodes for 10 weeks in the run-up to the COP, the actual COP process in November. So please Get in touch with us if you well, obviously any feedback would be really positive ⁓ for us to receive, but if you have any questions or suggestions of other guests that we might have, ⁓ we are really looking forward to making this as interactive and as interesting as possible. And our first guest is someone who has been to eleven previous Cups. That's not bad, is it? Eleven out of thirty one. I'm impressed. I was impressed with very impressed. James Close, ⁓ formerly of the World Bank, Re London, and latterly head of climate change at Nat West, who was probably very heavily involved in Glasgow, I think, as well. So he was. Very interesting chat we had with James, and we'll be putting that out on the first of September. so stay tuned.
