Glasgow climate summit: U-M experts available to comment | Global Michigan
Delegates from nearly 200 countries will gather in Glasgow, Scotland, at the end of the month for the COP26 climate summit, described by some as a make-or-break chance to curb greenhouse gas emissions and stave off the worst ravages of climate change. University of Michigan experts are available to comment.

Jennifer Haverkamp, a veteran of seven U.N. climate summits, is a former ambassador and special representative in the Obama State Department, where she led U.S. negotiating teams to successful climate agreements under the Montreal Protocol and the U.N. International Civil Aviation Agreement. She is the director of the Graham Sustainability Institute and teaches at the Law School and Ford School of Public Policy.

Her areas of expertise include United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change diplomacy and negotiating dynamics, short-lived climate pollutants such as methane and hydrofluorocarbons, and issues at the intersection of climate change and international trade and competitiveness.

“The nations heading to Glasgow bear the grave responsibility of delivering commitments stringent enough to give us one last shot at avoiding catastrophic climate change,” she said. As the IPCC’s latest report made clear, we are incontrovertibly on the brink of making climate disasters the norm, and cutting potent short-lived climate pollutants like methane, nitrous oxides and HFCs are essential next steps.

“The Biden Administration will be welcomed back to the table, but as it presses others to do more, they’ll be looking for proof the U.S. can deliver on its own ambitious goals.”
