This session will outline how energy use and greenhouse gas emissions are linked to the world economy and the technologies we use, how climate change impacts affect us, and discuss mitigation and adaptation options and instruments. It will also survey policies in place, and major challenges and opportunities as the world works toward coordinated action. One of the presenters attended the recent UN climate talks held in Poland and will reflect on next steps toward a new global climate agreement in 2015.
