COP27 Summary and the History of United Nations Negotiations | Lee | Stanford Energy Seminar

What is the COP? What is the UNFCCC (1992)? What was the Kyoto Protocol (1997)? What is the Paris Agreement (2015)? Why do these nations meet every year? Why did it take eighteen years to go from the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement? Arthur Lee will provide brief historical context to these climate change negotiations and provide summary highlights of the COP27 Sharm El-Sheik Implementation Plan against this historical backdrop. Further, he will provide a few forward-looking views of what will need to be further negotiated at COP28, and even COP29.
