Featured project: UN Climate Negotiations

From 2022 to 2025, I lead CBC's production on the annual UN climate negotiations in Egypt, UAE, Azerbaijan and Brazil, straddling editorial and logistical roles. I produced senior correspondent Susan Ormiston on location, and built a strong relationship with our french language counterparts, creating an integrated field team to benefit both networks. Additionally, I supported our videographer operating a second camera, took photos, and when time allowed, I reported. In many cases, we also produced long-form current affairs and analysis from the field, in addition to cross-platform news coverage. In 2024, we built a full episode of CBC's The Fifth Estate around COP28's agreement.

Delegates at COP27 in Egypt spent all night drafting a historic deal that includes an agreement to help poor countries ravaged by a severe climate with money from countries with high carbon emissions. But some say the deal doesn't go far enough to reduce emissions.

At the COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, delegates pored over the latest draft deal well past the final agreement deadline. Many climate advocates urged countries to reject it, saying climate funding for poor countries is too low.

Protesters stormed the COP30 climate conference in Brazil, clashing with security and overshadowing discussions earlier in the day California Gov. Gavin Newsom slamming America’s current stance on climate change.
