Climate Change in Asia: What Comes After the Kyoto Protocol?
Wednesday, Nov 11th
6:00-8:00pm
The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at The Johns Hopkins University
Dupont Circle Metro
Please RSVP to:
Our panel's theme is focused around the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference on Dec 7-19 in Copenhagen, as the follow-on to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. We will explore the views of key countries in the Asian continent going into the conference, possible outcomes, and an outlook for policy developments in climate change and emissions reductions for these countries. China's shift in climate policy is particularly interesting given its rapid economic growth and most recently, China's agreement with India to address these issues together.
Our distinguished panel will be led by Dr. Carla Freeman, Associate Director of China Studies at Johns Hopkins University- SAIS, and feature additional subject matter experts from the U.S. government, the United Nations and Think Tank communities in Washington, DC.
