[Gregory C. Michalenko]

My former colleague Ian Rowlands from Environmental Studies at the University of Waterloo took a group of hardworking and committed students to the Paris climate change summit.  Here's a chance to learn about their experiences - and ask them a question.

Subject: Feb. 1 panel discussion - COP21 Climate Summit: What happened in Paris, and what's next for Canada?





Last fall, the global media spotlight was on the United Nations climate change summit (a.k.a. “COP21”) when 195 countries came to an agreement to act on climate change. Are you curious about what this might mean for our community, our country and the world?



Join us for a panel discussion on February 1st to hear from five speakers who travelled from Waterloo Region to participate in COP21 in Paris. You'll hear stories from Mayor Vrbanovic's meetings with fellow Mayors from around the world, learn about Laura's experience representing the small island state of the Republic of Kiribati, and gain a view into what a UN climate summit looks like through the eyes of a first-timer as well as someone who was at both COP1 and COP21!
