WRI Press Call -- What Did the U.N. Climate Action Summit Accomplish? - a podcast by WRIs Big Ideas Into Action podcast

Following Friday’s largest climate protest in history, leaders from government, business and civil society came together for the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit on September 23 to offer strategies on how to address the global climate emergency. The summit featured speeches from over 60 country leaders.

World Resources Institute hosted a press call with leading experts on international climate policy to share their reflections on the summit. Which countries stepped up to Guterres’ challenge to bring concrete plans – and which failed to do so? Are these international diplomatic settings up to task of combating the climate crisis? Which initiatives were announced that are potentially transformational? And what are the biggest opportunities to advance climate action over the next couple years?
