Print article Share Following this year’s UN COP17 biodiversity conference, Carbon Brief’s journalists hosted a livestream to explain what happened at the summit. Carbon Brief’s Orla Dwyer and Aruna Chandrasekhar have been on the ground in Yerevan, Armenia, over the past two weeks, covering the negotiations. They were joined on the livestream by associate editors Dr Giuliana Viglione and Daisy Dunne, who were following the talks from Washington DC and London, respectively. Carbon Brief has also published its 10,000-word explainer of COP17, which lays out the key outcomes in detail. Membership Support award-winning climate journalism Join CB+ Orla and Aruna kicked off the livestream by explaining the biggest issues at the event, including biodiversity finance and the first ‘global review’ of progress towards reversing nature loss. The four journalists then took live questions from the audience in an ‘ask me anything’ format, covering issues such as ‘nature-harming subsidies’, marine biodiversity and the status of the Cali fund, which is meant to raise private-sector finance. A recording of the webinar (below) is now available to watch on YouTube.
