The fallout of COP30

In this episode Jessamy talks to Iris Blom, a medical doctor and researcher with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and co-chair on The Lancet Commission on Sustainable Healthcare.

Iris details her role at the recent COP30 in the Brazil Amazon, translating research for negotiators and advancing evaluation frameworks for sustainable healthcare, tells her takeaways from the conference and also explains why multilateralism still matters, how city-led co-benefits can drive measurable action, and what to expect from the upcoming Just Transition away from fossil fuels conference that  will take place on 28-29 April 2026 in Santa-Marta, Colombia.
