The international community finds itself at a critical juncture, facing a 'Global Boiling Point' (an arresting term coined by the UNSG Antonio Guterres) where the consequences of climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation are becoming increasingly acute. To tackle these multifaceted issues, the need for innovative and comprehensive solutions has never been greater. As a follow-up to the discussions and debates of COP 28 in Dubai, this conference seeks to encourage participants to expand on enduring challenges and offer fresh perspectives emerging in response to the global environmental crisis. This platform will allow students and professionals to share research findings, exchange insights, and share innovative perspectives to safeguard the planet for the next generation. Through this international dialogue on the environment and its intersection with global politics “Global Boiling Point” seeks to assist in development of meaningful policies, strategies, and actions that will shape our planet's future. To this end we will move toward a sustainable, resilient, and harmonious world, and this conference is a vital step in that direction. The 2024 American Graduate School Conference, "Global Boiling Point: Old Problems and New Solutions" seeks to bring together graduate, postgraduate, and senior undergraduate students, professionals, advocates, and global citizens to engage in a crucial dialogue on the pressing environmental issues from all imaginable IR lenses. This conference invites submissions of academic papers that explore the complex nexus of international relations, environmental challenges, and sustainable solutions. |
