Short Wave - Can COP 15 Save Our Planet’s Biodiversity?

This week, the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) wrapped up in Montreal, Canada. Nations from around the world came together to establish a new set of goals to help preserve the planet's biodiversity and reduce the rate of loss of natural habitats. The last time biodiversity targets were set was in 2010, at COP 10. In the 12 years since, the world collectively failed to meet any of those biodiversity benchmarks.

Aaron Scott talks to Giuliana Viglione, an editor at Carbon Brief covering food, land and nature. She shares what she saw on the ground at COP 15, what the new goals for 2030 are, and why she has more hope that progress will be made this time around.

Consider This from NPR - When Your Parents Are Also Your Roommates

More and more young people are moving back in with their parents — and staying there.

According to Pew Research, from 1971 to 2021, the number of adult Americans living in multigenerational households quadrupled.

There are several reasons that many young adults have moved back in with their parents, including: low pay, high housing costs, caring for loved ones – and more recently, the pandemic.

NPR's Claire Murashima spoke with a handful of young adults between the ages of 25 and 34 who are experiencing the highs and lows of living with their parents.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
