Then this event is for you!

Join the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability for a dynamic conversation with Duke students and experts who attended COP30, the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Belém, Brazil. You’ll hear from students in a variety of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as the practicum is open to ALL Duke students.

Practicum students along with the instructor Jackson Ewing will offer reflections on COP30 and present student audiovisual projects that give a sense of what it felt like on-the-ground. Breakout roundtable discussions will follow, with COP30 attendees ready to answer questions about the conference experience, key takeaways, and what may be in store for future international climate diplomacy.

Lunch will be provided.
