UPEI’s Adam Fenech in Paris for UN Conference on Climate Change

| Research

An estimated 40,000 are in Paris for the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, including UPEI’s Dr. Adam Fenech.

Dr. Fenech is director of UPEI’s Climate Research Lab. He has worked extensively in climate change since 1988, including as a member of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Dr. Fenech is in Paris as an official observer to the conference. He has been sharing his thoughts on the conference in a series of articles in The Guardian. He also spoke of his optimism for the outcome of the conference in an interview with CBC Radio’s Island Morning.

“I don’t think we’re going to meet the big target that we’re looking for, but I think there’s going to be enough momentum coming out of this meeting here in Paris to make a difference in terms of combatting climate change.”

Dr. Fenech will also be chronicling some of his observations and experiences at the Paris Climate Change Conference on the UPEI Climate Research Lab’s website
