Join our Great Decisions discussion group to talk about critical global issues facing America today. Each meeting begins with a 30-minute film on the discussion topic and is followed by a facilitator-led discussion.
Topic Description: The 2015 Paris Agreement established a UN-sponsored framework for negotiations on climate change and global warming. In subsequent COP meetings, experts and political leaders have come together seeking common cause for this growing global crisis. What is the future of these efforts, and what have they yielded? What is the U.S. role in fostering cooperation on climate change? In a divided country, what are the possible futures for American policy leadership?

She earned her Ph.D. in Political Science from Auburn University, a Masters Degree in Liberal Arts and Philosophy from Spring Hill College, a Bachelor's in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Georgia State University, and an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences from Penn State University. Her areas of specific interest include environmental politics, international organizations and international political economy.
