We are in the midst of a critical moment on the road to reaching a new international climate agreement at the 2015 U.N. climate change conference in Paris. Over a span of four weeks, the Obama administration is seeking to capitalize on the opportunities—and avoid the pitfalls—presented by the historic joint announcement of U.S.-Chinese post-2020 domestic climate goals; the imminent round of climate negotiations in Lima; the annual Montreal Protocol negotiations in Paris; the U.S. pledge of $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund; and more.
To shed light on this network of intersecting events, the Center for American Progress is hosting a conversation with the person at the center—as well as on the front lines—of the Obama administration’s international climate strategy: U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern. We are pleased to invite you to what will be a timely and lively conversation at this vital moment in international climate diplomacy and action.
Featured speaker:
Todd Stern, Special Envoy for Climate Change, U.S. Department of State
