Join us for a timely debriefing on the outcomes of COP30 in Belém, Brazil, a pivotal moment marking the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement. As the world reflects on a decade of progress and persistent challenges in global climate governance, this discussion will unpack key decisions from COP30, assess their implications for international cooperation, climate finance, and adaptation, and explore how major actors—including rising powers — are shaping the path forward. The event will bring together MIT climate experts to assess where we stand today, reflect on lessons from the past decade, and identify priorities for the next phase of climate action.This seminar will be held in 10-105 (Bush Room). Lunch will be available. Please RSVP here.Contact Kate Danahy at kdanahy@mit.edu with any questions.This event is part of the CIS Global Research & Policy Seminar Series.
