Schenkkan to attend COP 22 Summit in Marakeesh

I have been invited to be an observer at the 2016 COP 22 Summit in Marakeesh, Morocco. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) entered into force in 1994, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The Conference of the Parties (COP) was designated as the supreme governing body of the Convention. This meeting is especially important following as it does on the success of the Paris Agreeement. Here, signatory parties to this historic agreement to avert Global Warming are required to announce how their government will (or will not) meet their goals in reducing harmful emissions. The recent US election will undoubtedly have sent shock waves through the summit.
