Meet us in Katowice - adelphi at COP24

adelphi’s experts will present their findings on topics ranging from climate security to carbon pricing at several side events during COP24. Meet us in Katowice from 3 to 14 December to discuss current trends and policy options for climate action!

COP24 is already being hailed as “Paris 2.0” and aims to draw up a detailed roadmap on how to implement the Paris Agreement. This agreement was reached at the 21st Climate Change Conference (COP) in Paris in 2015 and sets out the framework for reducing the global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. COP24 in Katowice now aims to define concrete measures on how these goals may be implemented. Michał Kurtyka, the Polish Secretary of State at the Ministry of Environment and future President of COP24, has pledged to use the conference to draft a "user manual" outlining the rules for implementing the Paris agreement.

How this implementation should be designed will be discussed by our experts at the COP24 discussions, following below. For current updates follow adelphi on Twitter, or our teams from Climate Diplomacy and International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP).
