The Road Through Paris: Online Q&A on the Outcome of COP21

Mon. December 14th, 2015
Virtual

Leaders from around the world met at the UN climate conference (COP21) in Paris to forge a plan for addressing global climate change. What did they achieve and where does the discussion go from here?  

Carnegie’s Deborah Gordon, David Livingston, and Wang Tao, along with the University of Calgary’s Joule Bergerson, participated in a Reddit “Ask Us Anything” (AUA) on December 14 to discuss the results of the COP21 Climate Talks and the future of climate change governance. They offered unique perspectives on some of the key challenges facing the world’s largest economies, including the United States, China, Europe, and Canada. This online Q&A is part of a series of AMAs done with the help of the Geopolitics Subreddit.
