Podcasts about climate diplomacy

It's crunch time for the oceans and shipping sector, and tensions are high. Dr Simon Chin-Yee brings you this special episode of #UCLGenerationOne in the midst of critical negotiations at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Simon speaks to colleagues who have travelled across the oceans to the IMO - the UN agency responsible for regulating the shipping sector. In April 2025, countries came together to negotiate the IMO Net-Zero Framework, including a set of ‘mid-term measures' to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with 2023 targets. In this episode, Fijian performing artist and climate advocate John Taukave (Pacific Coordinating Group) and Eldine Glees (Maritime Policy Consultant) discuss the importance of a just and equitable transition for small islands and developing countries. And as the dust settles, Simon picks up with Opportunity Green's Emma Fenton to break down what actually happened, and what it means for the future of green shipping. The stakes are huge: will the IMO agree to decarbonise global shipping while ensuring no one is left behind? Find out in our podcast Talanoa!

"I call international environmental law a '30% solution'—it's not the most important factor in addressing problems like climate change. Politics, science, economics, and social attitudes all play crucial roles. Law can contribute, but it's just one piece."Order here: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Craft-International-Environmental-Law/dp/019767237XIn this ClimateGenn episode I am speaking with the Regent's Professor at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Dan Bodansky, about the second edition of his book ‘The Art and Craft of International Law'.Dan is a recognised expert having worked on a range of negotiations across the decades including being part of the US negotiating team at the UNFCCC in the 1990's. Dan's talks through how International Environmental Law has evolved with state and non-state actors–including how civil society plays a role in creating momentum that can translate into societal norms that lead to international agreements.All of this is set against the rogue nature of the current US administration and the drastically reduced operating space in which we have to preserve a liveable climate.In the next episode I am speaking with Professor Jennifer Francis from the Woods Hole Research Centre, for an update on record Sea Ice loss in the Arctic and the myriad impacts this has on so many other parts of the global climate system.Forthcoming episodes also include my speaking with Zita Sebesvari, Deputy director of the United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security –who is the lead author on a new Interconnected Disaster Risks report. And also an in-depth discussion with professor Mike McCracken about the role of solar radiation management geoengineering, offering a nuanced response to my recent interview with professor Raymond Pierrehumbert.Thanks to all subscribers.

With the launch of President Trump's trade war this week, few countries are more at risk than China. Faced with a sudden and massive expansion of tariffs as well as changes to the de minimis parcel rule, the export-led development model that has led China to great wealth is now under serious threat. What should we learn from the past of U.S.-China relations in order to understand their future?Joining host Danny Crichton and Riskgaming director of programming Laurence Pevsner are Neil Thomas and Kate Logan of the Asia Society Policy Institute. Neil is a fellow and researches the elite politics and political economy of China, while Kate is director of the China Climate Hub and Climate Diplomacy. They have written extensively on China's industrial strategy and foreign relations, and even more notably, they both participated in the launch of our Chinese electric vehicle Riskgaming scenario Powering Up in Washington DC back in December.We talk about their experiences playing the game, and why processing information overload is a crucial skill, particularly in competitive markets like cleantech. Then we talk about the lessons of China's manufacturing rise, why America ignored its industrial strategy for so long, and how U.S. policymakers and business leaders can approach the future of the most critical trade relationship in the world.

China is the world's largest emitter and dominates the production of low-carbon technologies worldwide. It thus plays a key role in global efforts to address the climate crisis.   How has China obtained its leading position in the production of green technologies? What role does China play in international climate negotiations? How important has the US-China relationship been in global efforts to reduce emissions, and what will happen now when Donald Trump is back in the White House?   To discuss this and more, Ruth and Anna are joined by Li Shuo (Director of China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute) and Chris Aylett (Research Fellow at the Environment and Society Centre at Chatham House).   To read Chris Aylett's report on UK-China cooperation on climate, please click here

In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between conflict and war, climate change and environmental degradation in Yemen with Hisham Al-Omeisy (Senior Yemen Advisor, European Institute of Peace) and Sinéad Barry (Analyst, Climate Diplomacy and Security Programme, adelphi). We discuss the current political situation, how the humanitarian crisis is compounded by environmental degradation and how climate change intensifies key issues related to water and land. With significant cuts to humanitarian aid and changing geopolitical dynamics, funding shortfalls jeopardise long-term peacebuilding efforts, programmes that provide food, water and medical services and economic recovery efforts. This episode underscores the need for innovative funding strategies as well as the importance of integrating environmental considerations into peacebuilding efforts. Further links: Watch Hisham Al-Omeisy brief the UNSC (starting minute 19) | Undercurrents: How conflict, climate change and the environment intersect in Yemen | Environmental Pathways for Reconciliation in Yemen Consultation Report 2024 Learn more about the Weathering Risk Peace Pillar project Environmental pathways for reconciliation in Yemen© adelphi global, all rights reserved   adelphi global (https://adelphi-global.de/en) is an economically and politically independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting sustainability, enhancing environmental protection, improving education, expanding development cooperation, and strengthening international collaborations.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Kelly Sims Gallagher, Dean of the Fletcher School. In our conversation, we explore how Kelly's early life and exposure to air pollution shaped her desire to dedicate her life to environmental issues. Kelly shares the insights of her research on China in the late 1990s and her realisation that China would become a world leader in climate issues, both as emitter and as clean technology superpower. We talk about how the Global South can compete in the clean tech space and how the new US administration's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement could impact momentum on climate negotiations. We wrap up with Kelly's vision for the role of the Fletcher School in a changed world.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing about the role of United States-China climate engagement in shaping the progress and outcomes of international climate governance. From critical mineral supply chains to clean energy and transportation technology, dynamics between the two countries are complex and sometimes fraught. This briefing explored how the countries' relations across broader climate and environmental issues have influenced and will continue to influence the annual U.N. climate change negotiations. In 2023, the United States and China produced the Sunnylands Statement ahead of the U.N. climate change negotiations (COP28), following a tradition of publishing similar joint positions in prior years. The statement covered topics related to the energy transition, forest conservation, and non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, including methane. It also kicked off a working group focused on “climate action in the 2020s,” which started meeting in the first half of 2024.   During the briefing, panelists explained how these bilateral interactions play into the international negotiations on climate change, outlined what to expect during COP29 and its lead up, and discussed the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts in curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

This week on Babel, Jon Alterman speaks with Karim Elgendy, an expert on climate and energy policy in the Middle East and North Africa. Elgendy is the associate director at Buro Happold, an associate fellow at Chatham House, and a senior non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute. They talk about the geopolitics of climate change, the challenges hindering climate diplomacy, and the factors driving energy production in the region. Then, he continues the conversation with Will Todman and Leah Hickert to discuss climate's role in regional diplomacy and the public discourse around climate in the Middle East. Transcript, "Karim Elgendy: Climate Diplomacy in the Middle East," CSIS, June 25, 2024.

With about six months to go before the UN's COP29 climate change conference in Azerbaijan, we're talking with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin about the role that diplomacy will play in facilitating solutions to climate change and the global energy transition.    “Climate diplomacy has been really central to where we are right now in terms of both focusing on the issue and building international consensus and collaboration, and I think inclusivity is part of it, too,” says Daniel, who is Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek, the annual S&P Global conference in Houston, Texas that has been described as “the Davos of energy.”   In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, Daniel shares key takeaways from CERAWeek, where he was on stage with speakers like US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates and CEOs from some of the world's largest energy companies. In our interview, he talks about the role of energy security, affordability and reliability in the current fraught geopolitical landscape.  He also talks about balancing these demands with the urgency of climate change. And he discusses the role that technology will play in facilitating solutions to energy transition challenges.   “The solutions are not going to be words or declarations — they're going to be technology and engineering,” Daniel says.    Listen to all our coverage from the 2024 CERAWeek conference here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/events/ceraweek-2024   Check out our coverage from Davos 2024 here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/key-sustainability-takeaways-from-davos-energy-transition-nature-and-the-rising-role-of-ai    Listen to the episode where we cover highlights from COP28 in Dubai here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/climate-adaptation-finance-data-and-nature-what-we-learned-at-cop28   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.        Copyright ©2024 by S&P Global        DISCLAIMER        By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

On November 14th, 2023, the United States and China jointly issued the “Sunnylands Statement on Enhancing Cooperation to Address the Climate Crisis” which introduced several areas for U.S.-China climate cooperation. The statement aims to increase activities between states, provinces, and cities in the two countries, and to restart Track 1, 1.5, and 2 dialogues on energy transition strategies. Meanwhile, John Kerry and Xie Zhenhua, the two veteran climate envoys responsible for hammering out global deals to address climate change, have both recently stepped down. Their successors, Liu Zhenmin and John Podesta, will build on a foundation of goodwill and communication, but have major challenges ahead. On March 29, 2024, Kelly Sims Gallagher and Li Shuo join the National Committee to discuss the future of U.S.-China climate diplomacy.

Exploring how climate change has configured the international arena since the 1950s, Climate Change and International History: Negotiating Science, Global Change, and Environmental Justice (Bloomsbury, 2024) by Dr. Ruth A. Morgan reveals the ways that climate change emerged and evolved as an international problem, and how states, scientists and non-governmental organisations have engaged in diplomatic efforts to address it. Developing amidst the Cold War, decolonization and a growing transnational environmental consciousness, it asks how this wider historical context has shaped international responses to the greatest threat to humankind to date. Thinking beyond the science of climate change to the way it is received and responded to, Dr. Morgan shows how climate science has been mobilised in the political sphere, paying particular attention to the North-South dynamics of climate diplomacy. The privileging of climate science and the mobilisation of climate scepticism are explored to consider how they have undermined efforts to remedy this planetary problem. Studying climate change and international history in tandem, this book explains the origins of the debates around this environmental emergency, the response of political leaders attempting to address the threat, and the barriers to creating an international regime to resolve the climate crisis. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

As COP28 kicks off in the UAE, former UK diplomat Simon Sharpe joins Ellen Halliday to discuss why the current approach to climate diplomacy—the kind that saw deals struck in Paris and Glasgow—doesn't really work. Drawing on his book Five Times Faster: Rethinking the Science, Economics, and Diplomacy of Climate Change, Sharpe answers a pressing question: what could help us cut emissions at the pace the planet needs? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 Many of the chemicals used in fracking for natural gas are hazardous to human health, but loopholes in disclosure laws mean that companies can keep them secret. Pennsylvania's Governor is moving to change that. Also, the world is way off track from the Paris Agreement goal to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. A new joint statement on fighting the climate crisis from the world's two biggest emitters, China and the United States, offers a glimmer of hope. And as solar energy costs fall and installations of solar panels rise, some are raising concerns about the materials they're made from and are promoting disinformation about the safety of recycling these modules. A team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory clarified this waste from solar panels. --  As a non-profit media organization we could not produce high-quality journalism that educates and inspires you to be fully informed about climate change and environmental issues without your help.

In this episode, I speak with Alicia Pérez-Porro. Alicia is a a scientist working in the space of climate diplomacy. She trained as a marine biologist researching sponges, but her heart wasn't really in research. A life-changing journey to Antarctica helped her discover her passion in science activism. We speak about her childhood connection with nature and the importance of role models in opening perspectives and helping with self acceptance. We both express our conviction that our connection with nature - and deeply grasping how we humans are part of nature, is central in solving today's climate and biodiversity crises. I hope this conversation inspires you to become an activist too!Recorded on 18 September 2023.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceConnect with Alicia on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/aliciaperezporro and on X (Twitter) @aliciaprzporro.And don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

In this episode of our Women in Sustainability series, we are talking about the evolution and underpinnings of China's climate diplomacy. Our guest is Taylah Bland, Schwarzman Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis. She specializes in China's domestic climate politics and international environmental law. She is a graduate of New York University, Shanghai and Tsinghua University as a Schwarzman Scholar. In this episode we cover: China's tendency to boost domestic policy first, before making climate commitments. China's signing on to climate agreements in the early phases, such as the Kyoto Protocol and Clean Development Mechanism The importance of China's domestic policy leading up to its Paris commitment Whether China's climate diplomacy commitments lag domestic trends so much, such as on renewables, that they are more for splashy announcements and soft power What further domestic policy steps are needed before China can enhance its ambitions for the next round of climate talks Further reading: Taylah Bland, "Key Factors Shaping China's Engagement With International Environmental Law," Asia Society Policy Institute, April 2023, at https://asiasociety.org/policy-institute/key-factors-shaping-chinas-engagement-international-environmental-law.  Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/EnvironmentChina Episode produced by: Anders Hove

The failure of G20 countries last month to agree on a plan to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 highlights a key problem in the ongoing debate over how to respond to climate change: the institutions that are designed to help solve this problem are failing.It's not clear what China's role was in that debate at the G20 but elsewhere Beijing's actions on combatting climate change are somewhat contradictory. While China is by far the world's leader in renewable energy and green transportation, it's also the world's largest polluter, thanks in part to its reliance on coal power.This week, Byron Tsang, a London-based senior policy advisor at the independent climate change think tank E3G, and Madhura Joshi, a senior research associate for E3G in Mumbai, join Eric & Cobus to discuss the current state of global climate diplomacy.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:X: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander | @madhurajoshi23 | @byfordtLinkedIn: Byford Tsang: https://www.linkedin.com/in/byfordtsangMadhura Zoshi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhura-joshi-b1b9a622Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouthFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry was in China for a visit from July 16 to 19. This visit, aiming at reviving climate cooperation between the world's top greenhouse gas emitters, came at an especially apt time with waves of extreme weather across the planet. How can China-U.S. cooperation better address climate change? Do Kerry's trip to Beijing and the surprise visit of the former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the age of 100, herald healthier and more sustainable bilateral relations?

Given the existential threat that rising sea levels and increasing extreme weather events pose to their communities, Pacific Island nations have been some of the most vocal advocates for climate action and, more specifically, an end to fossil fuel production. Australia has an imperative to take action on the threat fossil fuel expansion poses and to commit adequate climate funding to address underlying vulnerabilities of Pacific Island nations and strengthen the resilience and security of the region as a whole.

Countries are racing to acquire the rare minerals and resources necessary for clean energy tech. So how can they secure their own positions while also building strategic partnerships? Helaina Matza, who has spent her career as a diplomat and negotiator with the US Government, is here to help explain the process. Now the Deputy Special Presidential Coordinator for the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, Helaina has also served as Director of Energy Transformation at the Bureau of Energy Resources and Director of Climate Diplomacy and Energy Transformation at the National Security Council in the White House. Helaina sat down with BNEF Editor Kamala Schelling to discuss US policy and the energy transition, the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, and what her work as a diplomat has taught her about tackling climate change.

Can humanity compete in the critical race against climate change, or are we destined to succumb to a world of extreme heat, flooding, drought, and irrevocable damage to the planet's seas and biosphere? The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that time is running out but holds out hope of averting the worst. Will UN efforts like COP summits succeed soon enough? If not, who or what will lead the way? And as the climate emergency accelerates, what can the world expect from its largest emitters, China and the United States?U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change Sue Biniaz joins Aaron David Miller to discuss.

Climate Change mitigation is discussed mainly on a political level between countries, both in multilateral fora such as the COP (Conferences of Parties), the G20, or bilaterally.

A live webcast will be streamed at 3:00 PM EST at www.eesi.org/livecast. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for a briefing to review what took place during the international climate negotiations in Egypt (COP27) and why it matters for Congress. With dozens of events and negotiating sessions happening at any one time during the two weeks of a U.N. climate summit, it can be challenging to keep up with all the details. This briefing will review the key outcomes of COP27—and what they mean for Congress—and provide context and nuance to the main headlines coming out of the meeting. Panelists will provide perspectives and key takeaways from the federal government, U.S. states, philanthropy, and nongovernmental organization perspectives.

When it comes to fighting climate change, taking actions at home is as important as working with global partners. At the national level, the Government of Canada has taken several measures to fight climate change including rolling out a carbon pricing system. On the world stage, Canada is an active player at events like COPs. However, how domestic policy and diplomacy are coordinated to work together can be a bit of a black box. Canada's former ambassador for climate change, Patricia Fuller, joins us to discuss this fascinating topic and share the findings of a new report she co-authored titled Climate Change and Canada's International Engagement.

2022 witnessed severe flooding in Pakistan, extreme drought in Somalia and heat waves across Europe. The COP27 environmental meeting in Egypt right now is aimed at speeding up action to prevent more of these climate emergencies. Nations are trying to find a way to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, but there appears little discussion about how to deal with the immediate problem of climate migration and the people searching for safety. Guests: Michelle Yonetani Climate Action Policy, UNHCR Ines Benomar Researcher in Climate Diplomacy, E3G Ayesha Siddiqi Assistant Professor at Cambridge University Roundtable is a discussion program with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.

This week, world leaders and delegates have gathered in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt to commence COP27. Despite the intensified calls for wealthier countries to deliver on reparations and help climate-vulnerable countries with the impacts of climate change, geopolitical and economic realities may complicate these objectives. Amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, and surging global inflation, climate diplomacy has taken a back seat to other pressing issues. So, what can we expect from COP27? Joining The World Unpacked's new host Stewart Patrick is Dan Baer, the senior vice president for policy research at Carnegie, to unpack what's happening on the ground at COP27 and the state of climate action. Want more on the ground coverage of COP27?

A live webcast will be streamed at 11:00 AM EDT at www.eesi.org/livecast. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for a briefing on what to expect during the upcoming international climate negotiations in Egypt (COP27). Last year, the global community agreed on the final set of guidelines to implement the Paris Agreement, so this year marks the start of a new era of international cooperation on climate change, focused on implementation. As such, COP27 is set to cover a wide range of topics, including loss and damage, climate finance, and planning for the first global stocktake of each country’s progress towards its Paris Agreement goals. Panelists will unpack the overall process of international climate negotiations, explain the key areas of negotiation expected to be at play at COP27, review possible outcomes, discuss how new U.S. laws impact the path forward, and explore what it all means for Congress.

A live webcast will be streamed at 1:00 PM EDT at www.eesi.org/livecast. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and U.S. Nature4Climate invite you to join us for a briefing on natural climate solutions on the international stage. Across the United States, agricultural producers are practicing regenerative agriculture, foresters are managing forests to increase carbon sequestration and reduce wildfires, and coastal communities are restoring living shorelines. How will these natural climate solutions be discussed and advanced during the international climate negotiations in Egypt (COP27)? What policies are needed here in the United States to reinforce these efforts? What examples of U.S. leadership on natural climate solutions should be shared with people from around the world at COP27? During this briefing, panelists will respond to these questions and share insights about ways in which natural climate solutions have been integrated into international climate negotiations in the past. They will also share a vision of how these techniques can be central to advancing climate solutions at the national and international levels going forward.

Africa accounts for around 10 per cent of the world's known fossil-fuel reserves. But plans to build an oil pipeline through East Africa to transport hundreds of thousands of barrels a day have been condemned by the European Union. The pipeline, which runs from the source in Uganda to the Tanzanian coast, will generate billions of dollars a year. But critics say it will release tens of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In this programme we hear from the people involved in the fight over the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, and find out if they think it will go ahead.

A live webcast will be streamed at 11:00 AM EDT at www.eesi.org/livecast. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to join us for a briefing on what you need to know about loss and damage from climate change in the lead-up to the international climate negotiations in Egypt (COP27). The topic of loss and damage, defined as climate impacts that cannot be adapted to, is expected to be one of the most discussed issues at COP27. Impacts like land loss in Louisiana and homes falling into the ocean in North Carolina are being felt around the world. Leaders are reckoning with how to address this growing challenge, particularly in countries without the financial and technical tools needed to respond. Panelists will discuss the tools the international community has designed so far to address loss and damage, the current status of international climate negotiations on this issue, expectations of what might happen next on the topic at COP27, and why the international conversation on loss and damage matters for U.S. policymakers.

On August 16, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. This legislation is a $750 billion dollar health, tax and climate bill. Indeed, the inflation Reduction act is the single most significant climate legislation ever passed in the United States. So what impact will this legislation have internationally,  Including in ongoing international climate diplomacy? In this episode, we are joined by Casey Katims, executive director of the US Climate Alliance,  a coalition of US Governors representing states that account for over half the US Population. We kick off by discussing several of the key climate related provisioning included in the Inflation Reduction Act. We then discuss how this new legislation may impact diplomacy, including at a key international climate summit, known as COP27, which is being held in Egypt in November. We also discuss the unique roll that US states can play on climate related issues--something that was underscored recently when California announced that it would be phasing out the sale of gasoline powered cars.

Last November, the international community concluded its 26th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland. Reviews were mixed. Among its successes, COP26 concluded the Paris “rulebook,” adopted a consensus decision on next steps, and produced a series of multilateral commitments on limiting methane emissions and deforestation, strengthening climate finance, and more. A surprise joint declaration between the United States and China offered hope that the world's two largest economies and carbon emitters can still work together. At the same time, despite substantial progress since adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, the world remains off track to limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.  Key countries have not yet aligned their “nationally determined contributions” with the Paris Agreement's temperature goal. How should the world view COP26? Is progress being made, or are countries avoiding the tough choices? How essential is the United States? And where do international climate negotiations go from here? On February 1, EPIC hosted Sue Biniaz, Deputy to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, who played a critical role in both the forming of the Paris Agreement and in the latest talks. Biniaz talked with EPIC journalism fellow and The New York Times climate reporter Lisa Friedman, who was in Glasgow covering the conference. They discussed the successes, setbacks and steps forward. https://epic.uchicago.edu/events/event/an-insiders-look-at-cop26-successes-setbacks-and-the-future-of-international-climate-diplomacy/

It's been a month since world climate leaders convened in Glasgow, Scotland for international climate talks.  The conference brought meaningful advances to halt deforestation, curb methane emissions, and deploy clean energy. It also kept the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 C alive.  But closing the gap between ambition and reality will require herculean efforts from all countries, particularly western nations which are responsible for a majority of historical CO2 emissions.  To talk through the challenges that lie ahead, Host Jason Bordoff spoke with Laurence Tubiana. Tubiana is the CEO of the European Climate Foundation.

In this episode we discuss the implications of climate change on global conflict and peace, with a focus on climate migration and international cooperation.

On April 22 and 23rd, the White House hosted the Climate Leaders Summit which featured more than 40 world leaders. Joe Biden kicked off the summit with a major announcement that the United States has set a target to reduce by 50% its carbon emissions by the year 2030 On the line with me to discuss the significance of the White House announcement and its implications for climate diplomacy is Pete Ogden, Vice President for Climate and the Environment at the United Nations Foundation.  

This week, global leaders gathered virtually for President Biden’s Earth Day climate summit, putting the President’s commitment to climate diplomacy in sharp focus. Today, CNN National Security Correspondent Kylie Atwood explains how the administration tried to use this summit to reassert the US as a leader in the climate crisis by working with both allies and adversaries.

Please RSVP to expedite check-in A live webcast will be streamed at 1:00 PM EST at www.eesi.org/livecast (wireless connection permitting) The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing about the takeaways from the latest global climate talks, which concluded in Bonn, Germany, on November 18. The 23rd Conference of Parties (COP23) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) focused on the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement, which is slated to start in 2020. The Paris Climate Agreement calls on the world's nations to keep global warming significantly below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to pre-industrial levels. The year 2016 was already 1.2 C warmer than the 1850-1900 baseline. Every single member of the United Nations is part of the Paris Agreement, but President Trump indicated in June that the United States will withdraw from the agreement in 2020 (the earliest it is legally able to). His decision briefly threw the entire agreement into question, as U.S. participation is deemed essential if the global community is to meet its climate goals. Indeed, the United States is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, behind only China. Nevertheless, the other 194 signatories of the Agreement are pressing forward.

Jackson Foundation invite you to a briefing discussing benefits to the United States from deploying foreign aid to vulnerable regions to help them become more resilient to climate change impacts. The briefing will also explore the inner workings of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a multi-lateral effort to mobilize $100 billion in public and private financing for adaptation and mitigation projects in developing nations.

Please RSVP to expedite check-in This briefing will not be livecast or recorded The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing discussing the outcomes of the recently concluded international climate change summit (COP22) in Marrakech, Morocco. The summit drew representatives from more than 190 countries to discuss the implementation of the historic Paris Climate Agreement, making it a vital discussion that will impact everything from global commerce and foreign relations to electricity generation and agriculture.

Three environmental professionals from China will discuss the challenges and progress associated with setting emission reduction policies, implementing national climate targets at the local level, incentivizing supply chain sustainability, and more.

Please RSVP to expedite check-in A live webcast will be streamed at 2:30 PM EST at www.eesi.org/livecast (wireless connection permitting) The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing discussing the climate deal that came out of the 2015 Paris climate change conference, as well as what lies ahead for the 185 countries that pledged to reduce their emissions. The agreement set an ambitious goal of keeping warming significantly below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), in line with the international consensus that any warming above that level could lead to very serious consequences for the planet. The agreement specifies that each country will submit a more ambitious climate action plan every five years, showing a clear progression in emission reductions. In addition, the deal includes guidelines for countries to self-report their progress in meeting commitments, and a schedule for nations to meet and take stock of the progress made. However, it is important to note that although every country has pledged to reduce emissions, none of these pledges are legally binding. The pledges so far will not reduce warming to below 2 degrees Celsius; according to data from the Climate Action Tracker, if countries stick to their commitments, warming should stay below 3 degrees Celsius. A target funding level for assistance to developing countries has not yet been set, although the agreement stipulates that funding will be more than $100 billion per year and will begin in 2025. Finally, in at least 55 countries (responsible for about 55 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions), the agreement will need to be ratified or approved, leaving it uncertain whether they will be able to stick to their commitments. Please join us as we discuss what commitments countries have made in the international deal on climate, and what the deal will mean for emission levels and the climate.
