Climate Policy challenges are global by nature; accordingly they can be dealt with only globally and multilaterally. Even in acknowledging differentiated responsibilities and varying abilities, the climate change can only be fought successfully, if the international community commits to combined efforts and agrees on a common perspective and a political agenda. How this international cooperation on climate policy is to be ensured, how it needs to be designed and what we can expect from it, that is what we want to discuss with renowned experts and decision makers.
