10 Years of the Paris Climate Agreement: Reflecting on what has worked, what hasn’t and what comes next

A decade after it was adopted, the Paris Agreement stands as both a landmark of global climate cooperation and a reminder of the profound gap between collective ambition and planetary reality. Join Prof Rachel Kyte, UK Special Representative for Climate, and scholars from the University of Cambridge, University College London and University of Manchester for a candid look at a decade of climate governance under the Paris Agreement — the wins, failures, and urgent path forward — followed by a networking drinks reception.

This event is for University of Cambridge staff and students only.
