COP21 Episode 4: What Next?

Exactly a week from now, on the 30th of November, countries will gather in Paris for the much anticipated COP21 negotiations. Over the past three weeks we have covered a series of the talk’s dimensions. We discussed the science of climate change and importance of the conference, and covered two pivotal issues surrounding COP21: the developed world and the developing world along with the means of implementation. Now it’s time to combine all these factors.

In fourth episode of COP21, we summarize the series by exploring what to expect out of Paris, and what we should be preparing for next. 

In this episode you will hear from His Excellency Christophe Penot, the Ambassador of France to Malaysia, Lavanya Rama Iyer, the Head of Policy and Climate Change at WWF, Sivan Kartha of the Stockholm Environmental Institute and Dr. Matthew Ashfold, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.

We also provide clips from interviews with Elliot Diringer, Executive Vice President at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, Joseph Aldy, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and Simon Upton, the Environmental Director at The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
