With COP28 in the United Arab Emirates just around the corner, join our panel of experts for a primer on how United Nations climate summits work, the pressing issues up for negotiation this year, and a question and answer period. The event will be hosted in person at UBC’s Vancouver campus, and available by Zoom webinar.
The results are in – 2023 was the warmest year in recorded history. Join scientists Rachel White (climate science; EOAS), Anais Orsi (paleoclimate + climate science; EOAS), Lori Daniels (Forestry), and Simon Donner (climate science, Geography and IRES) for a conversation about the causes and impacts of 2023’s record setting temperatures.
UBC Geography and Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability professor Dr. Simon Donner will share some lessons and perspectives about providing policy advice, based on his work as part of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body (NZAB).
