Paris Climate Agreement lead negotiator Christiana Figueres discussed the need for timely action to fight the climate crisis at the Kennedy School’s annual Robert S. McNamara Lecture on War and Peace on Thursday. Kennedy School Dean Douglas W. Elmendorf and Kathryn Sikkink, a professor of human rights policy at HKS, moderated the event, which was co-hosted by the JFK Jr. Forum, the Institute of Politics, and the Forum at the School of Public Health. Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat who served as executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change from 2010 to 2016, said she feels optimistic about current progress in the fight against climate change. She noted that a “a critical mass” of countries have begun to take steps to curb their carbon emissions and that many wealthy institutions, including Harvard, have agreed to reach a net-zero carbon portfolio by 2050, consistent with the timeline of the Paris Agreement.
