COP27 and the politics of power, people, and place

December 1, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

*FREE EVENT*

Join our post-COP27 event for an opportunity to hear from and speak with faculty and student delegates who’ve just returned from climate negotiations in Sharm El Sheikh.

Following opening remarks from Ian Mauro (PICS) and keynote by Dr. Pasang Sherpa (UBC Faculty Delegate), our youth panel — fresh from COP27 — will cover climate topics such as power and governance, plurality and agency, geographical bias, and dig deep on reflective questions that get to the heart of what progress was made, what was lacking, and where to focus our energy next.

Take this opportunity to ask fellow students what attending COP27 was really like, what impacted them the most, and what they think should happen to make future COPs more effective.

Proudly presented in partnership by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, SFU Sustainability and the UBC Sustainability Hub.
