Climate Change Policy Pitch Meeting

Подробнее о видео

A satirical look at international climate change policy, inspired by Pitch Meeting, a comedic series by Screen Rant and Ryan George. Pitch Meeting is satire of a screenwriter pitching a script to a movie studio. It ridicules movies, but I’m using the format to ridicule international climate change policy.

Since the Paris Agreement is foundational for climate change policy, I thought it deserved a video exposing its inadequacies.

The Paris Agreement is an international treaty on climate change adopted in 2015 at COP21. COP stands for Conference of the Parties and it’s the United Nations Climate Change Conference. At the end of this month, representatives of the world’s nation-states will gather in Glasgow, Scotland for COP26 summit (October 31st to November 12th 2021) to update their goals for addressing climate change. The Paris Agreement treaty will serve as the framework for COP26, for the goals countries set to reduce global warming, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to the harmful effects of climate change.
