In December, negotiators from around the world will convene in Paris to negotiate and agree to a deal to address the challenge of climate change. While most attention has been on the position of major economies like China, Europe, and the United States, one group that has played a role in the negotiations far beyond the size of their populations are the Alliance of Small Island States. Their clear moral authority, as "front-line" states of climate change, shows how soft power can accelerate diplomacy.

Join ASP as we host Tony de Brum, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. He will discuss the importance of the upcoming COP in Paris and how effective climate diplomacy can still prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

At this event, ASP will formally launch a new Perspective Paper - "Climate Diplomacy and American Leadership." Copies will be available.
Lunch refreshments will be served from 12:00pm - 12:30pm.

Please arrive by 12:00pm for registration.

The event will be begin promptly at 12:30pm.
