Environment and Science Diplomacy: Past, Present and Future
Join us February 26, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. for an engaging panel hosted by the 涩里番 Bieler School of Environment and the Canadian chapter of Women in Science Diplomacy.
This panel brings together leaders from environment and science diplomacy to explore how evidence-based decision-making and diplomatic engagement have shaped global environmental solutions.
Panellists will reflect on what inspired their career trajectory, share lessons learned from historic environmental agreements, and discuss why science diplomacy must remain dynamic, adaptive, and deeply connected. Through real-world examples, including moments of behind-the-scenes negotiations, they will highlight how scientific integrity, diplomacy, and bridge-building continue to drive cooperation across borders.
