COP29 concluded with a last-minute deal decried as inadequate by developing nations.

From finance to carbon markets to youth demands, was any progress made in pushing forward international climate action at COP29? Or was it all “too little too late”?

In this panel discussion, members of Oxford University's COP29 delegation will share their perspectives on the summit and what the outcome means for the future of global action on climate change.

Professor Thomas Hale, Professor of Global Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government

Dr Injy Johnstone, Research Fellow in Net Zero Aligned Offsetting, Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment

Jodi-Ann Wang, DPhil Candidate in International Development, University of Oxford & Policy Fellow, LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.
