From November 6 to 18, 2022, the world will gather in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 27th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP27) with a view to building on previous successes and paving the way for future ambition. On behalf of the University of Waterloo community, the Waterloo Climate Institute will lead a delegation to COP27 to engage with governments and non-government observers from around the world.
"This is an exciting opportunity for our top student leaders and researchers because it is the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic that we are able to send an in-person delegation" says Simon Glauser, Managing Director, Waterloo Climate Institute. "The experience provides immersive exposure to global climate change negotiations and world-leading research networks."
Delegation applications are now open and will close September 12 at 12 p.m. ET. Find out how to apply as a graduate student delegate or apply as an institute faculty member delegate.
