Much has been said about the outcomes of COP-26, the UN's latest Conference of the Parties on climate change. But what can we learn from the COP's process of engagement, especially for the many MIT researchers involved in cross-boundary collaborations? In this moderated panel, several COP attendees will describe their activities and offer lessons learned for future efforts. Greg Sixt, J-WAFS Research Manager for Climate and Food Systems, will be included on the panel.
