Edina Great Decisions: International Climate Change Cooperation

This free event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. 

The 2015 Paris Agreement established a U.N.-sponsored framework for negotiations on climate change and global warming. In subsequent meetings, experts and political leaders have come together seeking common cause for this growing global crisis. What is the future of these efforts, and what have they yielded?

This program is presented by Edina Community Ed through a partnership with the Edina Senior Center, the Edina Library, the Edina Community Center, and Global Minnesota.

The Great Decisions program addresses some of the most timely foreign policy issues facing the United States each year. Global Minnesota facilitates discussion groups across the state, providing access to a roster of local foreign policy experts and offering Great Decisions books produced by the Foreign Policy Association.
