The COP27 United Nations climate change conference has kicked off in Egypt

COP27, the 2022 UN climate conference, has officially started in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

Running through until November 18, leaders from almost every country in the world are meeting to discuss global ambition on tackling climate change.

Over the coming days, they will debate initiatives and global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

There will also be a strong focus on climate financing, innovation and working together to keep global warming to the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C.

For the first time since the adoption of the UN climate convention, Parties agreed to introduce #LossAndDamage funding as an agenda item at the climate conference. (1/2) #COP27 pic.twitter.com/Ct8Q6WVnd0

Simon Stiell, the UN Climate change executive Secretary launched the meeting with a message for leaders.

“The urgency of the climate crisis demands that we do things differently. Let us use COP27 to find common ground, so that we can reflect this urgency in our actions.”

As @unfccc, we will be holding people to account – be they Presidents, Prime Ministers or CEOs.

Our policies, our businesses, our infrastructure, our actions, must all align with the #ParisAgreement.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
