10 years after the Paris Agreement: A Conversation with Todd Stern

French below 

Todd Stern, the United States Special Envoy for Climate Change during COP 21 in 2015, will come to share his experience and views on the future of the fight against global warming, in the presence of key actors from that time and emerging leaders.

He has recently published a book on the subject: "Landing the Paris Climate Agreement - How it happened, why it matters and what comes next."

“I decided to write this book for several reasons. The Paris Agreement was one of the most important accords of the past hundred years, grappling with a threat that will determine whether we can preserve a livable world. While the book is not a comprehensive history, I hope that an eyewitness account by the lead strategist and negotiator for the United States will be a contribution to history. And I am convinced that the book will be relevant to what happens going forward because we cannot contain climate change – a quintessentially global problem – without understanding the international climate system and learning the lessons that have gone into building that system. In addition, the book’s last chapter focuses entirely on the going-forward question. Finally, the book does not bog down in the negotiating weeds, focusing on the arc of the story and recounting the important elements in a manner meant to be interesting to professionals, students, and lay readers alike.”
