Join the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Women in Energy initiative for an interactive discussion on human rights and climate change following COP 30 in Brazil. Monica Medina, SIPA Adjunct Professor and former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, will share reflections from her time at COP 30 and examine how global priorities may be shifting from solely reducing emissions to addressing nature based solutions, communities, human suffering and adaptation.
The session will explore the growing debate within the climate movement about balancing mitigation with adaptation, equity, and public health, as well as the implications of recent international legal developments that hold major emitters accountable for global impacts.
