While scientific assessments inform the climate policy debate on action needed to limit global warming to the Paris goals, national commitments remain inadequate. In light of this situation, the PEP1.5 Final Symposium discussed archetypes of transformation pathways and their policy entry points and barriers with a range of experts from different disciplines as well as policy stakeholders. It also discussed concrete steps on how to incentivize more climate action at all levels, including by national governments. Find here: PEP1.5 Final Symposium agenda
