Prague Climate Talks 2017

Prague Climate Talks je nový projekt zaměřený na vybudování platformy vhodné pro expertní diskuze o klimatických změnách. Během série debat se spolu setkají odbornící a profesionálové z relevantních oborů se zástupci širší veřejnosti. Diskuze budou probíhat v angličtině.

Nadcházející debaty budou zaměřeny na témata:

The debate will analyze the impact of the changing geopolitical situation (following Britain’s vote to exit the EU, Trump’s unpredictable presidency etc.) on the future developments of the Paris Agreement and global efforts to mitigate climate change in general. Will the EU be able (and willing) to become the next frontrunner in international climate action or will China become the new reluctant leader? What will be the new opportunities and what could be the potential pitfalls?
