In this episode, a fellow SAIS alum, Jesse Young, joins us to talk about international climate governance. With the most recent literature from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) that was published this week, it's apparent that we are in an all hands on deck situation. Climate change is a capital intensive and complex problem to solve, and international collaboration is one of the only ways we can access the tools needed. Jesse lets the podcast hosts toss some hard questions his way including the role he played in the Paris Climate Agreement, the validity of the US role in international climate governance, and just where does all this money come from? This episode is a 2-part series, with the second half of our conversation with Jesse launching next month.
