UN Conference Takes on Climate: Panel Discussion and Interview with John Kerry

​JUST ANNOUNCED: This event will also feature an interview with John F. Kerry, 68th Secretary of State and Grist’s editor-in-chief Katherine Bagley as they mark the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and the completion of COP30 in Belém, Brazil. They’ll explore what the world has accomplished since 2015, where momentum has stalled, and how nations can strengthen their commitments to meet the urgent demands of our warming planet.

​Delegates from around the world recently gathered at the 30th annual United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP30) in Belém, Brazil to negotiate how the world can help halt climate change, prepare for its coming effects, and how to pay for it. Hear from three climate leaders who attended this global conference and learn about the outcomes of countries negotiating over billions of dollars in climate mitigation (decreasing carbon emissions to avoid global repercussions) and adaptation (building infrastructure and support for the poorest and most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change).
