From Lund to Global Climate Action: Lessons from COP 29 Climate Negotiations

We are pleased to invite you to a seminar on climate negotiations, focusing on the outcomes and challenges of this year's international climate discussions during COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Join us for a one-hour digital panel discussion with former Lund University students who are now actively involved in shaping global climate policy, and a researcher from Lund University's delegation to COP 29. In addition to providing a deeper understanding of the work on global climate challenges, the panel will also share their personal career journeys and reflect on how their time at Lund University has influenced their path into climate work.

The event is organised by the Lund University Sustainability Forum together with the Lund University Alumni Office. The event is particularly aimed at current students, alumni and researchers who are passionate about climate action. Whether you are considering a career in climate policy or simply curious about how international climate negotiations work behind the scenes, this discussion will provide valuable perspectives from experts in the field.
