Reporting back from IAMC2024
IAM COMPACT had a strong presence in IAMC2024 that took place on 4-6 November 2024 in Seoul, South Korea. Several papers and posters were presented, and colleagues had a chance to present their work to the broader IAM community, and discuss progress and future directions.
Central to this year's IAMC were studies on national policies towards achieving NDCs and net zero targets, justice and fairness in climate mitigation, climate finance, as well as discussions on the impact of US elections to climate change negotiations and progress globally.
