Co-Director, Grantham Research Institute of Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science

Dr Simon Dietz will discuss two key questions about the future of international climate negotiations. First, using the latest results from economic research: how much do we still need the negotiations? In other words, what is our latest understanding of the benefits to cooperation on various aspects of climate policy? Second, some perspective will be offered on what future negotiations can be expected to achieve in reality.
