Assessing the Outcomes from COP27: A Conversation with Billy Pizer
Agreement by negotiators at the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP-27) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt earlier this month on an international fund to provide funding for small nations suffering from climate change was a significant outcome. Yet the inability to achieve substantive commitments by nations to increase their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) was a disappointment. That\u2019s the perspective offered by Billy Pizer, the Vice President for Research and Policy Engagement at Resources for the Future, during the newest episode of \u201cEnvironmental Insights: Discussions on Policy and Practice from the Harvard Environmental Economics Program,\u201d a podcast produced by the Harvard Environmental Economics Program.
