We are delighted to invite staffers and civil society organizations working alongside lawmakers to win a Green New Deal, to the next edition in our regular closed-door event series, “Green New Deal Talks”.
We are thrilled to welcome Professor Huq, Director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) in Bangladesh. Professor Hug has attended every COP and will share his thoughts on the outcomes of COP27 from the landmark deal to create a "loss and damage" fund to missed opportunities over emissions, the dangerous influence of fossil fuel companies and whether 1.5 really is still alive.
Together, we will explore where civil society actors and lawmakers should focus their efforts now: making sure COP28 delivers a loss and damage fund that's fit for purpose, how and why we might support the Bridgetown initiative, pushing for further and faster action on decarbonisation in the global north and action to make sure fossil fuels stay firmly in the ground
There will be plenty of time to ask questions of Professor Huq, and for discussion as we regroup and ask: where next after COP27?
