Recent elections have indicated positive trends on climate policy. In October 2019, one day apart from each other, on opposite ends of the globe we saw major pro-climate election shifts. In Switzerland, the Green Party saw a gain in support unparalleled in Swiss politics in 100 years, while in Canada an election billed as a referendum on climate action saw two-thirds of voters confirm Canada’s carbon tax, just a decade after resounding defeats for parties supporting pricing.
This session will examine the changing dynamics of climate policy internationally and how the political economy of climate change is evolving, including an assessment of actors and how they are getting policies implemented. Also included will be an update from the UNFCCC COP process about the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
