Description:

The United Nations Conference of Parties, commonly referred to as COP, is held (almost) every year and provides an important venue for the international community to come together to discuss climate change—the state-of-the-science and climate policy.  This past November, the 27^th session was held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt and had a goal raised by the U.S.-Egypt Climate Working Group to “focus less on raising targets to cut emissions and more on getting climate funding to developing countries—both to decarbonize and deal with the impacts of a warmer planet.”  This AMS session will feature reflections from those within the AMS community who were able to attend and otherwise actively engage in activities related to the conference.
