Women's Climate Conversations online 2024 #4 - Women negotiating the climate

Continuing the Women's Climate Congress series of online conversations, this event featured Dr Sally Box, Australia's Head of the International Climate Negotiations Division of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. In conversation with WCC Founder Dr Janet Salisbury, Dr Box will share information about her role as Australia's Chief negotiator at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) conferences, the outlook for COP29 in Azerbeijan later this year and forward plans towards a possible Australian-Pacific COP31 in 2026. They will be joined in the conversation by WCC members Kesaya Baba (Senior Manager, COP31 Strategy and Partnerships, WWF-Australia) and Dr Tamara Inkster-Draper (Programme Managewr, International Climate Politics Hub).
This longer, 1.5 hour, conversation allowed for sharing of information around Australia's role and the overall global outlook for phasing out fossil fuels and keeping to 1.5 degrees (and not more than 2 degrees) of global warming in accordance with the Paris Agreement, and including the vital significance of women's leadership and gender equality in achieving this outcome, as well as longer-term systemic changes to build human and planetary wellbeing.
