The World Today presents: Super Size Me: How Massive UN Summits Advance Policy Agendas
3803 Locust Walk Philadelphia, PA 19104
This event lecture series is hosted by the Perry World House.
It was the largest climate meeting in history. Thousands of people were at the negotiating table and thousands more attended the COP’s hundreds of side events. How is progress forged at meetings of this scale? Where does the real work take place? And what comes next?
In this edition of The World Today, our panel of experts, including two Penn alumnae, will share their experiences advancing the climate policy agenda through philanthropic, corporate, and UN engagement. They will explore what can be achieved at these summits, both behind closed doors in the "blue zone" where negotiations take place, and the public "green zone," where side events – and a diversity of interests – abound.
