1. Independent tracking of efforts and outcomes
2. Prioritising the most impactful and fair actions, at home and overseas
3. Whole-of-society dialogue and accountability
4. Context-specific scientific insights to support action
This will frame a discussion chaired by Cecil (Max) Haverkamp, with Sarah Jones, Flavio Affinito, Luisa Forero and Neville Ash, bringing perspectives from policy, implementation, science and modelling.
If you’ll be at COP17, we’d love you to join the conversation!
