 High-level Multi-stakeholder
Panel Discussion on
“COP 15 and Climate Justice: Collapse, Greenwash or New Impetus for the Future?”
New York
After a two year build-up, the Fifteenth Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) concluded with Member States “taking note” of the Copenhagen Accord, a three-page document that has come to represent both how far the world has come in agreeing on how to address climate change, and how far it still has to go.
This event features speakers and discussants from government, the UN and civil society, several of whom participated in COP 15 in Copenhagen, and offers a unique opportunity for an in-depth analysis of the outcome and ways forward, including from a climate justice perspective. The panel discussion, which will be followed by Q&A with the audience, will be moderated by H.E. Mrs. Mary Robinson, President of Realizing Rights: the Ethical Globalization Initiative.
Over 200 people showed up to the event.
Co-sponsored by
- UN-Non Governmental Liaison Service (UN-NGLS)
- Realizing Rights – The Ethical Globalization Initiative
- Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation
