In this episode of Everyday Emergency, we'll listen in on a discussion about COP26, why MSF was a part of it, and what the MSF delegates attending the summit learned from their participation. The discussion is hosted by Dr Christos Christou, MSF's international president, and took place as a Twitter Spaces conversation on Friday 19 November 2021. Christos chats with Dr Maria Guevara, MSF's international medical secretary, and Stephen Cornish, General Director of MSF Switzerland, both of whom attended COP26 as MSF observational delegates this year.Episode photo © Frederic Noy/COSMOS Hosted on Acast.
