Time: 09:30 – 11:00 am
Location: room C75, Leeuwenborch building, Hollandseweg 1, Wageningen

The Paris Climate Agreement, concluded in December 2015, has been widely heralded as a ‘historic moment’ in the collective effort to address climate change. But what is its significance for research and politics? How does the Paris Agreement change diverse research agendas? (How) does it transform multilevel climate politics?

Four international experts from within and beyond Wageningen University debate these timely questions from social and natural science perspectives. Issues covered include: transformations in multilateral politics that Paris (might) represent; inclusion of land use in the Paris Agreement; transparency in forest carbon reporting and monitoring; and climate accountability. There will be brief presentations by each of the speakers, followed by discussion with the audience.
