Carbon Talks: Preparing for Paris – Mar 26

From Local to Global Challenges, What Needs to Be Done for a Successful Climate Conference in Paris 2015?

 .

The December 2015 Conference of the Parties (COP21) will be one of the most important international climate conferences ever. The stakes are high: with new evidence that we will surpass the global 2°C temperature increase targets, COP21 represents our best hope for a binding agreement between countries. This Conference could set the conditions for a transition towards resilient, low-carbon societies and economies.

 

Panelists include:

  • Hon. Mary Polak, B.C. Minister of Environment 
  • Gregor Robertson, Mayor of Vancouver 
  • Nicolas Chapuis, newly appointed Ambassador of France to Canada 

Michael Small, Carbon Talks and Renewable Cities Executive Director will moderate the panel.
