In the spring semester of 2021, Columbia Global Centers | Beijing, in partnership with Columbia SIPA Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP), and Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai, launched a global seminar series focusing on energy and climate policies and challenges in emerging Asia and engaging over 500 participants across the globe. This new series is designed, in general, to raise public awareness of energy efficiency and climate change. Particularly, it aims to foster a deeper understanding among Columbia students of the history of emerging Asian countries in the global climate change negotiation, common challenges facing these countries, and different paths and solutions to the energy transition via in-depth comparative analyses of current energy and climate issues, and train their analytical and research skills through cohesive lectures, panel discussions, and Q&A with leading experts in the industry, academia, and government.
