Show Notes

The COP 28 climate talks in Dubai have closed with a deal to "transition away" from fossil fuels.

So what does this mean for the future of oil, gas and coal companies?

Sam Fenwick talks to two companies who sent representatives to COP 28; the Norwegian energy giant Equinor and the Middle East's oldest private energy company, Cresent Petroleum. Do they plan to ever abandon fossil fuels entirely?

And she finds out what the leader of COP28’s Greenpeace delegation makes of the agreement.
