Global leaders at COP29 were under a huge amount of pressure going into talks this week following the UN Secretary General public voicing his concerns over the state of negotiations.   

 Criticisms of this year’s talks and the huge scale event that COP has become in recent years begs the question: is COP too big, and does it need reforming? We also discuss Europe's carbon market, current drivers and the reasons why prices may continue to rise. 

 In this episode, Richard speaks to Trevor Sikorski from Energy Aspects and our Carbon Correspondent reports from COP29 in Baku. 

 Host: Richard Sverrisson – Editor-in-Chief, Montel

 Guests: Trevor Sikorski – Head of Natural Gas and Carbon Research at Energy Aspects.
