    “Wilson Perspectives: The Paris Climate Agreement” is a series of short essays exploring the key issues that emerged during the 21st Conference of Parties that originally appeared on WilsonCenter.org.

    Security, terrorism, conflict, and peace: you won’t find any of these words in the landmark agreement released on December 12 at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP-21). It’s never been front-and-center on the agenda at previous Conference of Parties, from Copenhagen to Cancun.

    “Wilson Perspectives: The Paris Climate Agreement” is a series of short essays exploring the key issues that emerged during the 21st Conference of Parties that originally appeared on WilsonCenter.org.
