As the world looks ahead to COP30, conversations in France reflect a tension between urgency and disillusionment. From the journalists who shape public narratives, to activist communities pushing for bolder action, perspectives in Paris capture both the hope for systemic change and the skepticism born of repeated disappointments. This event explores how these voices are framing the climate debate in France, and how their insights resonate within global negotiations.
This event is part of a global series, Road to COP30: Local Voices, Global Pathways, hosted by the Columbia Global Centers. Each week, one of the Columbia Global Centers convenes an online event that looks at the big questions shaping local climate conversations and how they connect to global climate negotiations.
