UPDATE:

The class will be modified due to Virtual participation by Erik S. (Substitute/modified activity for the International collaborative exercise Part 2 - Perspective shifting session)

Please do feel that you can attend even if you missed out on part 1 in this 3-part series.

Today's session will take a new approach to exploring a set of key countries/actors position in the climate negotiations using AI (e.g. in an escape room exercise), expert observations and the NDCs (Nationally Determined Contribution). Here are the two parts in brief:

During the seminar

1 - we will explore the power, positions, promises, possibilities, plans and demands on aid/support for a set of key actors of the climate negotiations. This will be carried through using a combination of a digital escape room exercise, and by analyzing the updated NDCs and compare how they differ between key countries. More specifically the analysis of the NDCs will be powered by AI (you can try to sift through the documents manually as well if you wish) to make sense of the significant amount of texts (especially for multi-country comparisons) and try to assess the level of ambition as well as if they have suggested or planned to use any Policy Instruments and in that case how (if possible and time allows).

2 - prepare questions for Swedish Climate Ambassador (smaller part)

We very much look forward to this exercise!
