With the re-election of Donald Trump, the U.S. is expected to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, a move that could significantly impact global climate action. In this session, our panel of scholars and experts will unpack the key decisions made at COP29, discuss how key issues were framed and what they mean for international climate policy, and consider the potential for meaningful progress despite these new challenges. Is there hope for substantial action, and what can we realistically expect from these negotiations? Join us to understand the importance of COP29, the stakes for our future, and the way forward in these critical times.
