Session ID#: 14103

Session Description:
Late 2015, world scientific and policy leaders met in Paris at the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21/CMP11).  At the end of the Conference, the leaders reached consensus on a new international agreement on climate with the aim of keeping global warming below 2°C. In April 22, a record number of 175 countries signed the consensus agreement at UNESCO engaging themselves to contribute and to limit the temperature increase below 2°C. Eight months after this major endeavor, AGU hosts a panel at the Fall Meeting which would be composed of high level science policy experts from around the world. The focus of the discussion will be the outcomes of COP21/CMP11 and implications for both the research, policy, and action agendas at local, regional and global scales. Margaret Leinen, AGU President, will host the panel.
