Every weekday during COP27, the Climate Action Studio was open from 08:00 am until 17:00 pm. Support was also provided from the Walker \u2018on the ground\u2019 team who helped to identify interesting individuals for interview, facilitate the interviews, as well as provide a real-time link with events happening during the conference.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>During this time, the students in Reading engaged remotely with COP, watching sessions via the official COP27 platform, conducting interviews, and discussing the issues they encountered on the day. They were also encouraged to write blog articles for topics which interested them. These blog posts were proof-read by the Walker Team, and then posted on the Walker Website, helping students develop their writing skills and improving their exposure. Students were also encouraged to write tweets for the Walker twitter account @WalkerInst. All the blogs were also shared with the University of Reading press office and publicised from the official media platforms. Students also created short video updates at the end of every day, which were also shared with the wider University community.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/pearl.reading.ac.uk\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/COPCAS-students-taking-an-interview-with-Keving-Mtai-in-the-Conference.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;COPCAS students taking an interview with Keving Mtai in the Conference&#8221; title_text=&#8221;COPCAS students taking an interview with Keving Mtai in the Conference&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#4B4354&#8243; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; box_shadow_color=&#8221;#4B4354&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The UNFCCC streamed the panel and side events at COP27 from an area accessed on their website. Additionally, in a separate area of their website, it was possible to watch the plenary events, a range of \u2018special events\u2019 and press conferences. The streamed sessions remain available for a short amount of time on the website. They also had a dedicated YouTube channel which was easier to navigate. Some pavilion events were also streamed live and were accessible via YouTube or via their official webpage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>One of the most valuable activities that the students had the opportunity to do was to speak to a wide range of people attending the conference via MS Teams calls. These were often people who they would not have access to, from policy and practice contexts, but also people who are activists, and those currently experiencing the impacts of climate change. This was incredibly important in giving them exposure to different disciplines, sectors, perspectives, and ideas, as well as giving them contextual understanding of the fundamental reasons behind their research. A good mix of people from different backgrounds were interviewed, often sparking some very interesting discussions between the team outside of the interviews. The interviews were set up by the \u2018on-the-ground\u2019 team, and by the students themselves in the studio.<\/p>\n<p><span>These interviews were extremely engaging activities and moved from traditional \u2018interviews\u2019 to discussions and dialogue on a range of research-policy-practice topics, as well as experiences of climate change. As we have found in previous years, the students were keen to explore issues outside of their research areas, and the discussions highlighted a clear interest in climate action.
