Program

Sustainability, Climate, and Geopolitics

The Sustainability, Climate, and Geopolitics Program explores how climate change and the responses to it are changing international politics, global governance, and world security. Our work covers topics from the geopolitical implications of decarbonization and environmental breakdown to the challenge of building out clean energy supply chains, alternative protein options, and other challenges of a warming planet.

At the 2015 United Nations Climate Conference in Paris, world leaders, UN agencies, NGOs, and intergovernmental organisations gathered with the aim of achieving a legally binding and universal agreement on climate and a goal of keeping global warming below the threshold of 2°C.

This webinar will explore the outcomes of the Climate Conference, giving listeners:

  • An overview of what has been decided in Paris and what, if any, opportunities have been missed
  • Insight into how, post COP21, these decisions will be translated into national or international legislation and regulations
  • Understanding of the implications for business and other stakeholders

This webinar was hosted by the Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability.
