United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres, left, Minister of the Environment of Peru and COP20 President Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, and French Foreign Affairs Minister, and COP 21, President Laurent Fabius, talk to media during a press visit of the COP21, Paris Climate Conference, site, in Le Bourget, north of Paris.

Gregg Walker will be headed to the Paris climate talks next week. But the OSU Speech Communications professor won't be there as a negotiator; he'll be there as an observer and a researcher as a part of the non-profit Mediators Without Borders. Walker has been to 20 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change summits, and is an expert in environmental conflict resolution.
