All aboard folks! Team LMSU is continuing our BoCo odyssey, adventuring through each of the six sector decarbonisation plans. AND we’re bringing friends! That’s right, we’re calling in even nerdier reinforcements and experts to join us as we venture on. We're four in, two to go and luminaries helping us sum up so far include Dylan McConnell, Davina Rooney, Helen Rowe and Alison Reeve! And if somehow that isn’t temptation enough for you crazy climate cats, the only way you’ll see evidence of Luke, Tennant and Frankie’s cosplay efforts at our recent Chaos Trivia event is by subscribing on Patreon, so hop to it!

So we're in Belém, Brazil for COP30 where the weather is humid, the caipirinhas are delicious, the NDCs are insufficient and the action agenda is extensive! Thats right folks, we're summing up all the colour and movement of week one, with a particular focus on the procedural gambit of the Brazilian Presidency that saw the 'Big Four' issues (what a pithy coinage that is, hey T?) that threatened to bog down agreement on the negotiating agenda allocated to their own special “informal backroom consultations”, immediately rendering said consultations far more interesting that the primary negotiations! 

Featuring: special guest co-host Josh Gabbatiss from Carbon Brief! Also featuring: perhaps our final (we feverishly hope so) round of COP31 host speculation!

And that’s it for now, Summerupperers. There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: head to
