Welcome to a new season of How Could We?, recorded live at the SB62 June Climate meeting in Bonn, a key conference in the lead up to the upcoming United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP30 in Brazil.

This week, host ⁠Anne-Sophie Garrigou⁠ interviews:

  • a negotiator: Genaro Matías Godoy González⁠, Chile’s Acting Lead Negotiator on Finance,
  • and a civil society representative: Aline Baroni⁠, Country Director at ⁠ProVeg Brasil⁠.

They talk about what they think the main challenges facing the COP30 presidency are this year and what they can share about what is happening behind the scenes.
