This session will deliver key messages from the Climate Flagship Project on the 2015 Agreement. The session starts with prospects for the 21st session of the COP of the UNFCCC and its 2015 Agreement, followed by a presentation on the Flagship key messages, looking at how to create a cycle for reviewing and submitting subsequent nationally determined contributions after the initial submission in 2015 and what role the research community can play in the post-2020 climate regime. Based on the key messages, panelists will discuss a way towards an ambitious agreement at COP21.
