Who pays for climate breakdown? Is Biden set to clinch a climate deal? Will the voices of Indigenous leaders, youth activists and others be heard? And what are the potential impacts for B.C. and Canada?
Join UBC student and faculty delegates live from COP27 in conversation with climate journalist Lisa Johnson for an inside view of the negotiations, discussions and emotions of the conference.
Learn about the topics closest to their hearts, the major issues and discussions as they see them, the commitments that have been made, and the work that needs to happen to make sure the planet remains livable.
Media will have an opportunity to ask questions of all speakers at the end.
