The 20th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 20) to the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) took place in Lima, Peru on 1-12 December 2014. Here, thousands of delegates from international government and observer bodies convened to discuss how to address the challenges of climate change, as well as further negotiate national emission reduction commitments. This year, the Global CCS Institute again advocated for CCS as a critically important mitigation option capable of substantially contributing to the global challenge of halting global warming to an average of less than a 2°C rise on pre-industrial times. Join our experts to hear more about outcomes from COP 20, the implications for CCS, and what to expect of the next 12 months in the lead-up to COP 21 in Paris.
