Wuppertal Lunch: Lessons from COP28
Between Progress and Challenges
Between Progress and Challenges
The latest assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as well as several other reports once more reiterated that time to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement is running out. To change course, the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) needs to send a strong impulse to accelerate the global energy transition. In addition, developing countries expect a substantial increase in support from developed countries, including for dealing with loss and damage caused by climate change.
The Wuppertal Institute and Table.Media are following the negotiations and will debate the conference results at the Wuppertal Lunch "Lessons from COP28 – Between Progress and Challenges" on 18 December 2023 from 12.30 to 14.00 CET.
What did the conference deliver, what expectations were met? Did the monster COP with 90,000 visitors in the United Arab Emirates live up to its claim of being a historic meeting? These questions will be discussed by a panel with the following participants:
- Wolfgang Obergassel, Co-Head of the Research Unit Global Climate Governance at the Wuppertal Institute
- Bernhard Pötter, Team Lead at Climate.Table
- Charlene Watson, Senior Research Associate, Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
- Vera Künzel, Senior Advisor, Climate Change Adaptation and Human Rights, Germanwatch
Dr. Lukas Hermwille, Senior Researcher in the Global Climate Governance Research Unit at the Wuppertal Institute, will facilitate the virtual Wuppertal Lunch.
Registration is possible via the link below. Participants will receive an email confirmation with information on participation in the Wuppertal Lunch after registration. Participation in the Wuppertal Lunch is free of charge.
