BRLSI COP30 Panel
On December 11 2025, Dr Yixian Sun and project manager Ciara O'Brien appeared on a panel "COP30 demystified: is the world any further forward?" at the Bath Royal Literary Scientific Institute.
The event functioned to demystify the political process of COP meetings for the public, with panellists offering their personal judgements on the Belém conference’s successes and failures. Our team members discussed the role of COP30 as a sign of multilateral cooperation remaining alive despite Trump 2.0, the role of critical minerals and fossil fuels, and what a just and clean energy transition really means.
