COP30: NOW WHAT?
In the wake of COP30 in Brazil, the world finds itself at a crossroads. In an increasingly divided world, Europe’s high climate ambition appears to be under threat.
We pick up the gauntlet and ask: now what? Together with two distinguished panels, we will explore opportunities from multiple perspectives and seek inspiration for both society and research.
Join us as we examine how the outcomes of COP30 can be translated into positive action.
All are welcome to attend.
