This week in Bonn the United Nations brings world leaders and scientists together to discuss climate change. (It’s called COP23.)
The Overseas Development Institute, the UK’s leading think tank on international aid and climate policy, will be launching new research at the conference – and have experts available for interview in London and Bonn.
Our main papers:
One of the main topics will be how to pay for all the work needed to deal with climate change – especially in poor counties. Our new climate finance briefings look at a range of issues to be discussed.
