The Road From Paris: An update on the international climate change negotiations
Description
In 2015, countries gathered under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted an international agreement to address the threat of climate change. The Paris Agreement was praised as an historic success after many years of contentious and failed negotiations. Since 2015, the international climate negotiations have focused on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, developing a new set of processes and institutions that will guide and determine the success of future global climate governance. This panel will recap the key achievements but also weaknesses of the Paris Agreement and reflect on the progress made since 2015. The panelists, two Purdue faculty and three graduate students, have attended the various negotiation sessions since Paris, and will also discuss their diverse experience of conducting research at the UNFCCC meetings.
