Crises are times of painful struggle but also open the opportunity for deep, transformative change. This talk will examine the different ways Europe, North America, and China are responding to the war in Ukraine and to the climate crisis. It will explore the changes brought about by thirty years of international climate negotiations, the shock of a major war on Europe鈥檚 economies, and consider what the challenges are that still lie ahead.
