As the world’s eyes turn to Dubai for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), Austin-based Texas Impact/Texas Interfaith Power & Light is sending video dispatches from the conference to the Chronicle.
UT energy and engineering professor Michael Webber describes himself as “A professor by day and venture capitalist by night.” As a first-time COP participant, Webber shares his observations about the global negotiations, and explains why seeing Dubai host the COP should make Texas leaders sit up and pay attention.
