An event from the UCL Centre of Law and the Environment featuring two panels exploring the recent COP28 conference
COP28 De-Brief – State-of-Play and Challenges on Climate Finance and Loss & Damage
About this Event
COP28 brought an array of important decisions related to climate finance, while highlighting the challenges that remain for upcoming negotiations. An historic agreement on the operationalisation of the Loss & Damage fund and continued progress on discussions regarding the role of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) coexisted with stalemates on issues such as the New Collective Quantified Goal on Finance. The COP28 De-Brief, hosted by the UCL Centre for Law and Environment, discussed some of these developments by bringing together theory, practice, and critique, with two panels featuring academics, public officials, practitioners, and NGOs.
