Billing COP30 as the "Implementation COP" raises hopes
that it will drive concrete progress toward the Paris
Agreement's goals. Yet, amid rapid geopolitical shifts, what
outcomes can we realistically expect?
In this podcast, our speakers explore, among other critical
questions:
What influence will the United States exert on COP30 outcomes

leadership amid the complexities of trade tensions, security-driven
onshoring, domestic dynamics, and regulatory recalibration?
A decade on from the Paris Agreement, is this talk of
implementation all too late?

particularly in light of the 2025 Nationally Determined
Contributions Synthesis Report?
Will COP30 reinforce multilateralism—or hasten its
demise?
