Learning from Practice to Teach for Practice—Reflections From a Novel Training Series for International Climate Negotiators

How can you negotiate successfully in a very rigid process where more than 190 governments (who are organized in a complex web of formal and informal alliances) negotiate hundreds of technical and political issues that impact all aspects of how we live? Climate negotiators require a particular set of skills and, understandably, are sometimes skeptical of how theory applies to their specific contexts. This session reflects the speakers experience of designing a Climate Negotiation Training together with climate negotiators for climate negotiators and discusses takeaways for bridging the theory-practice gap.

Session Leaders:
Monica Giannone, Director, Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Collaboratory at the Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School
Anselm Dannecker, Senior Fellow, Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Collaboratory at the Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School
