A Global Climate Deal in 2015: What are the chances? What are the implications?

For two weeks at the beginning of December, world leaders and climate negotiators will meet at COP 21 Paris to agree the parameters of a new global climate treaty. What are the chances of success in Paris compared to previous efforts at agreement? How might we assess the meeting? What would ‘success’ entail, and what implications might this have for domestic policy, existing fossil fuel infrastructure, and future investment in emissions reduction?This event is an evening of provocative insight and discussion focusing on humanity’s response to the global climate problem.Keynote SpeakerTim Flannery, Chair of the Climate Council, 2007 Australian of the Year.Chaired by Adjunct Professor Nick Rowley, Sydney Democracy NetworkPanellists:Nikola Casule, Climate and Energy campaigner at Greenpeace, Professor Robyn Eckersley, Head of Political Science in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Emma Herd, Chief Executive of the Investor Group on Climate Change Hosted on Acast.
