Produktbeschreibung
Since their inception, the United Nations Climate Change Conferences--or Conference of the Parties (COPs)-have shaped the global response to climate change. These high-stakes gatherings bring together world leaders, scientists, activists, and policymakers to negotiate the future of our planet. Yet, despite increasing media attention, the inner workings of these forums remain complex and often misunderstood. As COP30 takes place in 2025, 30 Climate COP Later takes a critical look at the past three decades of climate negotiations. Have these conferences driven real progress? Through the voices of key Canadian figures--diplomats, scientists, NGO leaders, journalists, and policymakers--this book offers a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective on the triumphs, setbacks, and turning points that have defined the COPs. With firsthand accounts and candid reflections, contributors share personal experiences, pivotal moments, and insights into Canada's evolving role in international climate diplomacy. From historic agreements to missed opportunities, their stories provide a nuanced view of the challenges and achievements of global climate negotiations. Written for a wide audience--including students, professionals, and anyone passionate about climate action--this book sheds light on the COP process and its impact. As the climate crisis intensifies, it asks a pressing question: Can these negotiations still deliver the solutions we so urgently need?
