UCLUNA invites Prof. Lisa Vanhala to explore the complex relationship between today's deteriorating environmental conditions, pressing politics and the diplomacy practices of the United Nations climate change regime.
In this session, Prof. Lisa Vanhala will draw on aspects discussed in her recent book 'Governing the End: The Making and Unmaking of Climate Change Loss and Damage', by focusing on loss and damage in the UNFCCC.
Join us to hear her share her insight followed by a Q&A session! Refreshments will be provided.
