The global challenges of climate change require a coordinated and determined diplomatic response. Ten years after the landmark Paris Agreement, we find ourselves at a critical juncture. The upcoming COP30 in Brazil marks a decisive milestone, calling on the international community to intensify its efforts.
Germany recognizes the geopolitical dimension of climate change. Climate policy is no longer merely an environmental issue; it is inseparably linked to questions of international security, economic stability, and global justice. As a key player in international climate diplomacy, Germany has the responsibility to strengthen multilateral cooperation and advance ambitious climate policies.
As part of our event “International Climate Protection in Foreign Policy: 10 Years After Paris – Where Do We Stand, Where Are We Heading?”, we would like to discuss with you and leading voices from politics, science, and civil society how Germany can and should fulfill its foreign policy responsibility in international climate protection.
We warmly invite you to participate in this intensive exchange, contribute new ideas, and connect with experts. Your personal perspective is invaluable in discussing the strategic direction of global climate policy and setting the course for a sustainable future.
