UConn will send* a select group of students (and faculty) to Paris this December for what is shaping up to be a historic event for people and the planet. The UN Climate Negotiations (under the UNFCCC) to be held in Paris, France is the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21). COP21 will be a crucial conference, as it needs to achieve a new international agreement on the climate, applicable to all countries, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2°C. And there is plenty of momentum building for this historic event. [Keep up with the latest climate news with my twitter feed <twitter.com/AnjiSeth>.]
