What will decisions reached at the global climate talks in Paris mean for the future of the global energy and climate system? How far will pledges take us towards our climate mitigation goals, what future action is needed, and how will this affect the way we produce and use energy around the world? Leading experts from MIT and Tsinghua offer perspectives on these questions. This discussion panel took place halfway through landmark global climate talks happening a few metro stops away, drawing a diverse audience connected with real-time developments.
