Learn about how the UN led the conversation and tried to heed the dangers of a warming planet back in 1988 and organized what is now the biggest climate meeting of the year. Learn the history of how COP came to be and become familiar with some of the most important COP-specific language.
We wanted to share some resources mentioned in the podcast:
IPCC Website: https://www.ipcc.ch/
UNFCCC Website: https://unfccc.int/
Additionally, we encourage listeners to check out the RINGO (Research and Interdependent Non-Governmental Organizations) pre-COP webinar series. The three-part webinar series was developed by the University Climate Change Coalition (UC3), Second Nature and the Research and Independent Non-Governmental Organizations (RINGOs) constituency to provide anyone interested in the international climate negotiations with a comprehensive overview of the UNFCCC process: https://ringosnet.wordpress.com/cop24-ringo-pre-cop-webinar/.
We also want to give our sincere thanks to Beth Martin and Tracy Bach from RINGO for their support and guidance in our COP learning process.
