For the second year in a row, UConn will be sending a contingent to participate in the United Nations Climate Change Conference. This year, COP 22 will be held in Marrakech, Morocco from November 7^th to November 18^th, 2016. The event will bring together diplomats, business executives, heads of government and other delegates to discuss action on climate change. The objective of COP 22 is to make the voices of vulnerable countries to climate change heard and will be one of action.
