The 2015 Paris Agreement established a UN-sponsored framework for negotiations on climate change and global warming.. In subsequent COP meetings, experts and political leaders have come together seeking common cause for this growing global crisis. What is the future of these efforts, and what are they yielded? What is the US role in fostering cooperation on climate change? In a divided country, what are the possible futures for American policy leadership?

Title- Empress of the Nile by Lynne Olson

Leader: Diane Woolever 

Subtitled….The Daredevil Archeologist Who Saved Egypt’s Temples from Destruction.
This is the riveting story of a true-life action hero Christiane Desrouche-Novlecourt, one seemingly unafraid to turn down a fight for a noble cause; it is the story of an archeologist who joined the Resistance, survived the Nazis and then saved Egypt’s ancient temples from the flood waters of the gigantic new Aswan High Dam.
