Continuing the Women’s Climate Congress series of online conversations, this event will feature Dr Sally Box, Australia’s Head of the International Climate Negotiations Division of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. In conversation with WCC Founder Dr Janet Salisbury, Dr Box will share information about her role as Australia’s Chief negotiator at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) conferences, the outlook for COP29 in Azerbaijan later this year and forward plans towards a possible Australian-Pacific COP31 in 2026. They will be joined in the conversation by WCC members Kesaya Baba (Senior Manager, COP31 Strategy and Partnerships, WWF-Australia) and Tamara Inkster-Draper (Programme Manager, International Climate Politics Hub).
We have programmed 1.5 hours for this important conversation to allow for some in depth sharing of information around Australia’s role and the overall global outlook for phasing out fossil fuels and keeping to 1.5 degrees (and not more than 2 degrees) of global warming in accordance with the Paris Agreement, and including the vital significance of women’s leadership and gender equality in achieving this outcome, as well as longer-term systemic changes to build human and planetary wellbeing.
