      From October 24th-25th, 2014, the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University is excited to host the 5th Annual Inter-University Climate Change Negotiations Simulation. The simulation is designed to replicate the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process, which is currently working to reach a global agreement to combat climate change next year.The negotiation exercise aims to mirror the real-world politics and policy discussions at the heart of the UN process. Student negotiators from a variety of universities, each representing one of the 192 countries party to the UNFCCC, will meet at Duke University for a 2-day session to begin the difficult work of crafting the foundation needed for a universal agreement to be finalized in 2015.Participation is open to any student currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at any institution.Tags:                adaptation_climat
