Penn EventsReflections from COP27: A Victory for the Most Vulnerable Countries The November 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, established a loss and damage fund, which will provide financial assistance for the most vulnerable countries. Countries have one year to assess the fund's structure, financing, and accessibility. What did it take for loss and damage to make it onto the COP27 agenda? Will industrialized countries take responsibility for their part of the climate crisis? Is the creation of this fund a first step to achieve climate justice for the most vulnerable countries? Join Perry World House for a discussion on this history-making agreement and learn from experts who attended COP27 and helped negotiate these agreements.

But don’t worry, like herpes, humanity just won’t go away. In the ruins of society, our hero Max longs to get away from the small world of his village. Found as a baby with a map leading to a land unknown, Max is determined to follow his destiny out in the wasteland. There’s only one problem: Max is awful at staying alive. Enter Jane, a rugged wasteland veteran and the only person who can get him to his destination in one piece. After agreeing to split what they find 50/50, our duo sets off on the adventure of a lifetime, braving killer robots, zombies with class consciousness, and unhealthy levels of background radiation. What will they find at the end of their journey? How did our world end up like this? And do bunker roommates have to pay rent?
