Sciences Po PSIA and CERI are pleased to collaborate with KU Leuven on this expert roundtable to examine the evolution of international climate negotiations ten years after the landmark Paris Agreement.
As we approach COP30 in Brazil this November, this roundtable brings together leading voices in climate diplomacy to reflect on the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from a decade of implementation, including results from the Horizon Europe project ENSURED on reform potential in global climate governance.
How has the Paris Agreement's architecture evolved in practice? What have been the most significant diplomatic breakthroughs and persistent obstacles? How are emerging economies reshaping negotiation dynamics? And what critical issues will define the agenda at COP30 in Belém?
With:
- Paul Watkinson, Independent expert and former negotiator;
- Katja Biedenkopf, Professor of Sustainability Politics at Leuven International and European Studies (LINES) research group of KU Leuven;
- Christian Dietz, Researcher in the Energy, Resources and Climate Change (ERCC) Unit at the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS, Belgium);
- Yamina Saheb, Lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on climate mitigation.
Chaired by Carola Klöck, Assistant Professor, CERI, Sciences Po.
