Business Matters: Agreement on farming and food at COP28

Agreement on farming and food at COP28

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Agreement on farming and food at COP28

World leaders commit to transforming food systems at COP28.

On the second day of the COP28 summit in Dubai, for the first time, countries have pledged to integrate food and agriculture into their plans to tackle climate change - acknowledging the link between farming and global warming.

In what’s been called ‘climate quitting’, young people are leaving their jobs because they disapprove of their employers on climate grounds - often to work for environmental groups. It’s left top top oil and gas companies struggling to recruit the brightest and best graduates - three people who’ve done just that tell the thinking behind their decision to quit.

And Phil Mercer reports on how one community in Australia is recovering from the fires of 2019 and 2020 - and preparing for dangerous conditions in the years to come. 

Roger Hearing discusses these and other business stories of the day with Peter Ryan, senior business correspondent at ABC Australia in Sydney and Dr Stephanie Hare, researcher, broadcaster and author in London.
