COP28 Climate Negotiation Simulation Event

The event is aimed at 16-18 year olds across all subject areas. By participating in the event, the students will find out more about UN-style negotiations and experience what its like to negotiate a climate deal.

Using materials developed by Climate Interactive and MIT, students will represent either a country, region or lobby group. In order to agree measures to limit the rise in global temperature to below 3 degrees C., students will engage in a negotiation simulation. During the negotiations, their proposals will be fed into a computer programme, which uses real-life data to model what the consequences of the proposals would be. This will give them the opportunity to better understand how climate negotiations, such as the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 operate and give them the opportunity to work with students from other schools in reaching a consensus on the issue.

Further details to follow upon registration.

The event is limited to 30 schools (2 students each) .

The event will last from approximately 09:30-15:00.

Further details, role assignments and logistical arrangements will be provided closer to the time. There is no cost for participating and lunch will be provided.
