Climate Change and International Cooperation: Educating in a Contested Space

Climate change remains one of the most urgent and complex global challenges, demanding rapid, coordinated action across national borders. With COP 30 on the horizon, this panel will explore the critical role of international cooperation in advancing climate action. It will discuss the role of education in fostering this dialogue, assisting people in making informed decisions, and cultivating negotiation skills. The panellists will give their opinions on the successes and limitations of current multilateral frameworks, such as the Paris Agreement, and examine the evolving expectations for COP 30, including the need for stronger, binding commitments within the revised NDCs, and transparent accountability mechanisms. By fostering dialogue among academics, experts, and civil society, this meeting aims to identify practical pathways for enhancing global solidarity and ambition in the lead-up to COP 30 and beyond.
