COP 30: Postpartum or Postmortem?
2026-01-14 12:00 - 15:00
The UCLA Latin American Institute, the UCLA Center for Brazilian Studies, and the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation invite you to join COP 30: Postpartum or Postmortem?, a webinar roundtable offering a critical retrospective on the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30) held in Belém, Brazil.
This panel will examine the outcome of COP 30, which brought over 56,000 delegates to the Amazonian city of Belém to coordinate a global response to climate change. This COP featured breakaway countries headed up by Colombia and the Netherlands who are committed to rethinking climate action beyond the confines imposed by obstructionist petrostates. Each of the panelists, who come from a range of academic disciplines and activist groups, has a unique perspective and long experience with climate dialogues, COPs, and climate politics. Did COP 30 truly incorporate a wide range of perspectives, or did the agendas of governments and corporate lobbyists take center stage? What prospects are there for meaningful action to mitigate the effects of climate change?

Join us as Dr. Jesse M. Keenan discusses his new book, North: The Future of Post-Climate America (Oxford University Press), which explores how climate change is shaping the physical and demographic future of the United States. North documents a new era marked by shifts in population that are transforming everything from the physical landscape of cities to electoral politics. At the dawning of this post-climate era, emergent geographies of risk and opportunity are coming into focus as a consequence of both physical climate impacts and the adaptations of market economies.
When: Monday, April 27 from 12:30-1:45pm PT
Where: UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, Room 2343
What to Expect:

Hear an engaging talk from Dr. Jesse M. Keenan

About the Book
North: The Future of Post-Climate America offers a critical reframing of adaptation science and the role that people, markets, and public institutions play in shaping human mobility and the capacity of American communities to adapt. With fast-moving markets and slow-moving governments, everyday people are caught in the crosshairs. While some will seek to preserve the status quo, others will relocate from places that are increasingly uninhabitable, too risky, or too expensive for permanent settlement. As the era of Sun Belt migration comes to an end and climate impacts accelerate, everything from local relocations to transcontinental climate migrations are already well underway.
At the same time, new geographies of opportunity are receiving zones for those who are seeking a more sustainable and less precarious way of life. North is not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about America’s future in the face of climate change. It is also a projection of optimism about America’s capacity for decarbonization, environmental stewardship, and population mobility.
