Practical information
The year 2016 was one of rising populism, as demonstrated through Brexit, the US presidential elections or the referendum in Italy. Major elections are also approaching in 2017, with the French presidential election in April/May and the German general election in the autumn. Europe and the world are coming to a significant crossroads. Will the rising tide of populism reach a critical juncture?

This is an unusual de facto co-presidency arrangement, but one that could yield promising results. This webinar will take stock of what climate governance has achieved and of the issues still to be negotiated, and explore what impetus this Turkish–Australian partnership could provide.
