UCC researchers and students join world leaders at COP31
UCC delegation to bring climate research expertise to COP31
As world leaders gather at COP31 in Turkey, critical decisions lie ahead: what action is needed to tackle climate change, how quickly must countries act, and how that action will be financed.
Scientific evidence has a vital role to play in shaping these decisions.
This week, a delegation of UCC students, academics and researchers will join world leaders, policymakers and scientists at the UN Climate Change Conference to help inform international discussions on climate action.
As the first Irish university to secure official observer status at the UN climate change negotiations, COP enables our researchers and students to engage directly with the international climate policy process.
Our delegation includes:
- Dr Lydia Cumiskey, PhD.
- Dr Louise Firth
- Dr Vahid Aryanpur
- Dr Kathryn Brightbill
- Beth Moore
- Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir
and Siqi Li
