Road to COP 30: Learn how Woodwell’s science and partnerships are impacting the international stage

Join us for the next installment of Woodwell Climate Conversations featuring climate policy expert Frances Seymour. This timely discussion will reflect on the major themes and outcomes from New York Climate Week, especially those related to tropical forests, highlighting the momentum and challenges that emerged on the path to COP30 in Brazil.

Seymour will share key insights from her engagements during Climate Week, providing a global perspective on forests, finance, and climate diplomacy. Together, we will explore how Woodwell’s science and partnerships can amplify impact on the international stage, strengthen collaboration, and shape policy in the lead-up to COP30.

This event will be offered in-person only, please register in advance.

 

Woodwell Climate Conversations is a monthly event series designed to engage our community and foster meaningful discussion about climate change and its impacts.

This series provides a platform for both in-person and virtual discussions, workshops, and presentations.

Join us each month as we bring together experts, thought leaders, and community members to explore the latest climate science, the work being done at Woodwell Climate Research Center, and the steps we can all take toward a sustainable future.

Each event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 5:00pm, events start at 6:00pm in the Harbourton Auditorium.

 

Select lectures will be available both in-person and virtually, with recordings available on the Woodwell Climate website at a later date.
