- Identifying the crucial elements of the structure of the arguments for the Washington Symposium and scrutinizing the robustness of its logics;
- Exploring the international experience to bring to the Washington symposium, particularly case study examples on policy and action;
- Exploring and understanding what political obstacles need to be tackled, particularly in the US, for the reciprocal positions of key countries to a global deal;
-To table and identify further background material for the Washington meeting (reading lists, case studies, policy briefing etc) supporting all of the above.
