The event series "NRW Climate Lounge" offers events alongside COP23 on nine weekdays from 5 – 7 p.m.
The "NRW Climate Lounge" will commence with a presentation from the Wuppertal Institute on the basic principles, background and future outlook of international climate diplomacy. The following questions will be addressed: What are the objectives of the Paris Agreement and how is its implementation progressing? Which stakeholders have which tasks at a World Climate Conference? Which subjects are on the agenda in Bonn and what is the current status? What implications does the change of course of the US Administration have on international climate policy? How is the US delegation acting – constructive support or obstruction? What are the objectives and expectations for the negotiations in Bonn? What do the expected results mean for the next steps towards implementing the Paris Agreement? Who are the main pacemakers and who is holding things back?
At the start of the series of events on 6 November 2017, Ministerial Director Dr. Karsten Sach, Directorate-General KI, Climate Policy, European and International Policy of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), is expected to attend.
Moderator: Prof. Dr. Manfred Fischedick, Vice-President Wuppertal Institute
