During COP27 in Sharm-El-Sheikh, the Durham Centre for Sustainable Development Law and Policy (CSDLP) convened an event on “Collaboration in Climate Research and Education” in EARTHDAY.ORG’s Climate Education Hub. Over the two weeks of COP, events in the Education Hub reached hundreds of thousands of people, both in-person and online. Initiatives were launched and new collaborators identified, as well as a rise in recognition on the importance of climate literacy. The CSDLP is excited by the momentum generated at COP and we hope to contribute to moving some of the initiatives forward through Earth Day 2023, COP28 and beyond. 

Speakers at the event included four members of the Centre, Petra Minnerop, Durham Law School; Laura Marsiliani, Durham Business School; Chris Stokes, Geography and Ashraf Osman, Engineering, and three external collaborators of the CSDLP, Nilufer Oral, Director of the Centre for International Law at the National University of Singapore (CIL/NUS); Danielle Yeow, Climate law and policy lead for CIL/NUS and Amir Sokolowski, Director Global for Climate Change at CDP.
