World leaders and diplomats from nearly 200 countries attended the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, to set new targets for cutting global greenhouse gas emissions. Penn State attendee Michael E. Mann, distinguished professor of atmospheric sciences, will share his impressions about which efforts succeeded and which did not, along with his thoughts about the best path forward to net zero emissions, during a talk that will take place in 112 Walker Building and be streamed via Zoom.

Mann is an internationally recognized leader in the field of climate science and the author of several books on climate change. His most recent work, “The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet,” was runner-up for the Financial Times’ best business book of the year and named one of the 15 best science and environment books of 2021 by The Times.

Mann’s talk is part of the spring 2021 EESI EarthTalks series, “Energy and Climate Policy, Part 2: Strategies for Getting to Net Zero.” The series is presented by Penn State’s Earth and Environmental Systems Institute.
