Paris will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in December 2015. Expectations and challenges run high: 196 countries will seek to reach a binding international agreement aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the global temperature increase to +2 °C.
Ahead of the COP21 we aim to take stock of climate policies in focusing on Canada and the European Union. The one-day conference is divided in two sessions: the first addresses the energy transition from the perspective of climate policies; the latter focuses on the market as an instrument to reduce carbon emissions. Comparing Canadian and European approaches will make it possible to assess their strengths and weaknesses.
The event is jointly organized by CÉRIUM (the Montreal centre for international studies at the Université de Montréal).
Free entrance but registration is required atceue@umontreal.ca.
