COP21 Resources
What our regional network is doing in preparation for COP21
At the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21)
in Paris on 30 November to 11 December 2015, the world’s governments will have to adopt a new global agreement on climate change for the post-2020 period. It will potentially be the last opportunity get a global deal that makes it possible to keep the global mean surface temperature increase below 2°C.
This page collects on an ongoing basis information on the activities the SDSN Australia/Pacific network and its members are undertaking in support of this crucial meeting and negotiations in our region.
