Looking ahead to COP27 – Bronwyn Hayward

Government leaders, policymakers and activists will attend the latest UN #climatechange conference in Egypt. “As a political scientist, I am very concerned about the precarious position of international climate negotiations going into COP27,” says University of Canterbury political scientist Professor Bronwyn Hayward. “In a highly distracted and dangerous world, still coping with the ongoing effects of global pandemic and its economic and social impacts, there is little visible political leadership among governments of the Global North to galvanise international cooperation for climate action.”
