Great Decisions - Discussion by the Foreign Policy Association In-Person

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. The program provides background information and policy options for the eight most critical issues facing America each year and serves as the focal text for discussion groups across the country. Each year, eight topics are chosen by a panel of experts.

This Month's Topic: International cooperation on climate change

The 2015 Paris Agreement established a UN-sponsored framework for negotiations on climate change and global warming. In subsequent COP meetings, experts and political leaders have come together seeking common cause of this growing global crisis. What is the future of these efforts, and what has it yielded? What is the U.S. role in fostering cooperation on climate change? In a divided country, what is the range of possible futures for American policy leadership?
