Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy; December 2, 2016

On December 2, 2016, Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy Director Dan Esty joined mayors from around the world in Mexico City for the C40 Mayors Summit. 

The Summit, which ran from November 30 to December 2, represented an international commitment “to continue the momentum for action to reduce the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, building on last year’s Paris Climate Change Agreement.”

What happens at this month’s United Nations Climate Conference (COP21) in Paris will be a significant step in determining the future direction for international climate action. There was little way Dan Esty, a trustee of The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut who’s been working on climate change issues for decades, was going to miss it.

Esty is the Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law and Policy at Yale University’s School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, and he’s Clinical Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, Yale Law School. He also was a negotiator at The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992. He’s attending COP 21 as part of the Yale Climate Change Dialogue.
