Where Next on Climate? The Future of the International Climate Negotiations

Past Event

November 1, 2017

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) for the continuation of our “Where Next on Climate?” Series. On the eve of the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP-23) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (November 6 to 17, in Bonn), this installment of the series will focus on the future of the international climate negotiations. What are the stakes for the United States and other parties at COP-23 and in the broader UNFCCC negotiations? Can the other parties sustain momentum in the wake of the announcement by President Trump that the United States intends to withdraw from the Paris climate accord? In what ways could the US announcement affect the UNFCCC process going forward? To address these, and many other questions, Jonathan Elkind, Fellow and Senior Adjunct Research Scholar at CGEP will moderate the discussion which will feature the following experts: – Susan Biniaz, former U.S. Department of State Climate Lawyer; Lecturer in Law, Columbia Law School – Daniel A Reifsnyder, former Co-Chair of the Paris Agreement Negotiations; former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Environment, U.S. Department of State – Scott Barrett, Lenfest-Earth Institute Professor of Natural Resource Economics, School of International and Public Affairs Registration is required. Guests unable to attend can view a livestream of the event at energypolicy.columbia.edu/watch. A podcast of this event will be available ~7 days after the date of the event through iTunes and our website. This event is open to press.
