The Promise of Paris

SAVE THE DATE: THE PROMISE OF PARIS

Tuesday, February 9, 7–8:30 pm, Town Center, Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, UW–Madison

In December, a contingent of Wisconsin leaders joined the United Nations 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris, where nearly 200 nations ratified a new universal climate change agreement with the goal of reducing global carbon emissions. For the first time since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, the world came together to adopt a healthy, sustainable future. Join us for The Promise of Paris, part two in our two-part series “Connecting Wisconsin and the UN Climate Talks” as we reconvene our panel of Wisconsin leaders from the December 3rd Live from Paris event. Brought to you by the Wisconsin Academy and the Global Health Institute, The Promise of Paris panel discussion is free and open to the public with advance registration. Guests are welcome to purchase tickets to join the panelists for a private reception preceding the discussion as well. Questions? Contact Meredith Keller at 608-263-1692 x20.
