We have big news…

For the first time, @uscedu and the @uscwrigley are sending an accredited delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for the 31st Conference of Parties (COP31).

We’ll be bringing you along as Dr. Shannon Gibson ( @profsmgibson ) and USC students experience the negotiations and share what happens this year at Antalya, Türkiye.

This is only the beginning. Stay tuned for more very soon 👀

How can we actually make strides in addressing climate change? What’s the role of international cooperation?

Dr. Jonathan Rosen, Assistant Professor of Professional Security Studies at Kean University, interviews Dr. Shannon Gibson Associate Professor of Environmental Studies, Political Science, and International Relations at the University of Southern California. She explains why climate change represents a classic collective action problem and why countries experience climate change differently based on their historical responsibilities, resources, and vulnerabilities.

Learn more about the interview from the link in our bio.
