Description:

A delegation of Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate students  attended the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties, or COP30, which this year took place in Brazil. Northwestern delegates to COP30 conducted original research at the conference through a fall-quarter research seminar designed and taught by Iza Ding, Associate Professor of Political Science. Their travel to the conference was supported by the Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs.

Students in the course studied how international climate negotiations work, how different actors shape governance, how researchers can study these sites while considering the potential for these sites to address climate change, and more. Join this poster session to learn more about their research projects and takeaways from the convening. Lunch will begin at 12:15 p.m.
