WWAC - CLIMATE DIPLOMACY: Are We Making Any Progress?

Former U.S. diplomat Elliot Diringer takes stock of the global effort to combat the climate crisis.  Diringer, a former senior policy advisor to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, has worked international climate issues for more than 30 years as a journalist, a diplomat, and a nonprofit leader.   He covered the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, supported Vice President Al Gore at the historic Kyoto conference, and led behind-the-scenes talks that helped lay the foundation for the Paris Agreement.  Diringer now leads an International Dialogue on Climate and Trade as a Global Fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy.  He and his wife, artist Lauren Rader, are new Guilford residents.

This event is hosted by the Windham World Affairs Council
