UNshaken: Subnational Actors Step Up at the Global Climate Talks
Join us for a discussion of the recent international climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany! Hear perspectives from University of Michigan student delegates who were there as observers. Stay to learn some takeaways from a panel of experts and policymakers on what’s next for climate policy, globally and locally now that the U.S. has submitted intent to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and subnational action is building momentum. After the delegate talks and the expert panel we invite you to speak to student and community groups at our organization fair & reception. Additionally, the call for the COP24 U-M delegation will be announced at this event, opening the spring application period!
