With three recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) delivering stark warnings about the consequences if we don’t rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the annual UN climate talks, Conference of the Parties (COP 25), kicked off on 2 December in Madrid.

COP25 is the last COP before 2020 when many countries must submit new climate action plans. The pressure is on to build momentum by increasing countries' national climate commitments. The focus will be on encouraging countries to step up ambition and make progress on outstanding rules under the Paris Climate Agreement.

At this public lecture, a panel of experts who attended the talks will discuss how events unfolded, the decisions made (or not made) and their implications for Australia and the world. What are the prospects for limiting global warming to 2C or even 1.5C? The panel will include:

• Aaron Tang , PhD student, Fenner School of Environment & Society - The Ambition Bottleneck Aaron Tang - COP25.pdf 
• Prof Frank Jotzo, Crawford School of Public Policy
• Dr Siobhan McDonnell, Crawford School of Public Policy
• Hon Prof Howard Bamsey, School of Regulation and Global Governance and formerly Australian special envoy on climate change
• Ewelina Przybyszewski, Masters student, Fenner School of Environment & Society - View presentation - 303KB
