April 12-14, 2024 | Brown University
Could climate negotiations be reimagined with a better representation of "more-than-human" world actors? Could the voices of dying coral reefs be heard by geopolitical powers?
About the Summit
On April 12-14, Brown University made the imaginary leap of exploring what a new kind of multilateralism could bring about during the inaugural Conference of All Life: Climate Negotiations in a More Than Human World.
Over one hundred students, staff, faculty, alumni, community members, and climate professionals from Brown University and across the country came together for this immersive and experiential simulation of a climate negotiation summit.
By integrating a diverse array of delegation types, the conference sought to propose a reimagination of the future of climate negotiations, and ultimately, the future of our climate.
