In his first 100 days in office, President Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement, delegitimised and undermined low-emission growth, and restricted US scientists' involvement in international climate research.
With COP30 approaching, this event will dissect how the research community, media and civil society communicate the challenge of climate change and continue to work towards low-carbon, climate-resilient development.
We will be asking:
- Does the media need to shift its approach to communicating climate change?
- How does civil society continue to advocate for change? Is traditional media still a player?
- How does COP adapt to the absence of one of the world’s largest emitters?
We will be joined by a panel of climate journalists working for a range of media outlets including the BBC, The Times, Guardian, CNN and the Financial Times.
