Mission accomplished? What’s Next After the Paris Climate Agreement

Panel discussion with William Acworth, Project Manager, International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP); Christian Flachsland, Assistant Professor of Climate & Energy Governance, Hertie School of Governance; Harry Lehmann, General Director Division 'Environmental Planning and Sustainable Strategies', German Environment Agency; Carsten Rolle, Head of Department 'Energy and Climate Policy', Federation of German Industries.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has invited all world leaders to a signing ceremony on 22 April for the climate agreement that was reached in Paris in December last year. The agreement not only endorses the ambitious 2°C target for global mitigation; for the first time, all countries have agreed to pursue efforts to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

The discussion at the Hertie School will examine the merits and remaining challenges of the Paris Agreement. What are the next steps in developing the climate regime to enable attainment of the ambitious long-term goal? What does Paris mean for European and German climate and energy policy? And how can the Agreement develop further to effectively foster mitigation in other world regions, in particular developing countries relying heavily on coal to meet their appetite for energy and economic growth?

The discussion is part of the Hertie School Alumni Reunion 2016. This is a joint event with the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC).
