*DEEP CLIMATE CONVERSATIONS *
*Topic: "Assessing COP 28” * *Thursday, December 14* *8:45am - 10:00 am PST** / 11:45 am - 1:00 pm EST* The Environmental Politics and Governance network (epgnetwork.org <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://epgnetwork.org/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!k2dTKtboKHZNt8LKbGB_wtGZcKwD7Rj5MbAL6_xPG-V8QGAUHRteCxnhs8x19eRQUuS_0jR8dXChob6D-lHT2w$>) has launched a new initiative, Deep Climate Conversations. This will be an online structured roundtable (i.e., questions circulated in advance to speakers) on a specific issue. The objective is to explore climate issues at a deeper, theoretical level. This will be a 75-minute event: 60 minutes for discussion of planned questions, leaving about 15 minutes for comments from the audience. Please register in advance here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://umd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJApde6prjgpH9MbXN40eRmIAyUNDtBZ9j5r__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!iikushbm-m-nM1sXYS6aISqnLPhhVpGCUBWx7zGZt4U-tNZtXzmrgbwGCVO2ukpScWo1tw-K3gjMnvqpBgBLeA$>.

Broadly, how might one assess the success of any COP? Do they primarily have a performative function of focusing global attention on climate issues, or should we take their substantive pledges seriously? - How do you evaluate the global stocktake process? Did the process succeed in providing a focal point for negotiators? Did it have a "ratcheting up" effect on contributions? Or are global conflicts, inflation, and energy security issues derailing the climate agenda? - Given the almost impossibility of achieving the 1.5 C target, what sort of balance should future COPs strike between mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage? How do you assess the seriousness of developed countries towards the $100 billion annual climate aid target? Are there other promising financial mechanisms? -- *Jennifer Hadden* Associate Professor, Department of Government and Politics 3117H Chincoteague Hall University of Maryland, College Park jhadd...@umd.edu http://jenniferhadden.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
