On this episode of CRIN @ COP28, hosted by Bill Whitelaw, we sit down with Glen McCrimmon, CRIN's Director of Operations, and Lesley Coldham, Director of Public Affairs with the International Gas Union (IGU). This exciting conversation will delve into how these two powerful organizations have come together to develop a panel examining the Global Methane Pledge to be presented when the world comes together for COP28. What does a net zero future beyond 2050 look like? Through the conversations that will take place at COP28, the answer might just be found in the art of the possible and one that IGU and CRIN could jointly deliver.

Covered in this episode:

• The global reach and impact the IGU has and why COP28 is an important opportunity for the organization
• How CRIN and IGU are similar as connectors and conveners of their areas of interest
• The message IGU will bring to COP28 about the role gas will play in the world's energy future and what intelligence they are looking gather from the different countries and companies that will be attending COP28
• Why COP28 is a great two-way street for organizations like CRIN and IGU
• How the interlocked diversity of this panel, with speakers representing the value chain of the energy industry, gives us the opportunity to work on the problem of methane emissions in a way that hasn't been done before
• A look at what the Global Methane Pledge is and what it is trying to achieve
• How this is just a start to the marriage made in heaven between CRIN and IGU and what both organizations hope will come after COP28 to keep the conversation and progress moving forward
