The 24th Conference of Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be held December 3-14, 2018, the week after this Science Café talk. The COP agenda includes a “Facilitative Dialogue” on the level and ambition to which each country has committed themselves in relation to keeping global warming below 2°C this century. Join Dr. Jon Rosales (Environmental Studies, SLU) as he discusses assessment reports by UN agencies, the level of ambition shown by the parties to the Paris Agreement, how important are temperature targets and the possibilities of avoiding dangerous climate change.
