GRIPS is collaborating with FPCI (Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia) in convening the FPCI-GRIPS Public Forum, a monthly webinar series where experts and policy makers can discuss the most pressing issues of international affairs and foreign policy with researchers and students across Southeast Asia and Japan.

?

At the 3rd forum, we will focus on COP27 and Climate Diplomacy.

?

Climate diplomacy focuses on the global effort to keep the increase of Earth’s temperature below 1.5 degrees. There is, definitely, a need for extraordinary and multilateral solutions as well as unwavering global commitment to address the climate crisis. Especially after the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment report that said the global emission must be “topped-out” by 2025 and need to be cut by 43% in order for the world to ensure the 1.5 degrees goal.

?

The upcoming COP27 in Egypt this November where all stakeholders must be ready to present their climate commitments are expected to be more ambitious. Questions are looming, what are the priorities of COP27 and what are the achievable targets? The experts and researchers from Japan and ASEAN countries will be invited to discuss this very hot issue.
