Presentation of paper on ‘What’s in it for the EU’
This paper represents the joint vision of TT2015 members of why the COP21 in Paris is important to the EU. It reviews the wider context of the negotiations, looking not only at the geopolitical shifts that have taken place on the road to Paris, but also at the interests of the EU both as far as its domestic climate policy is concerned, as well as its role as a diplomatic ‘soft power’.
