Exclusive Reports by Reed Smith Delegates From the Climate Summit in Copenhagen Will Be Posted on This Blog Beginning on Monday, December 7.

 

From December 7-18, representatives from nations around the globe will gather in Copenhagen to discuss a global agreement on climate change. Denmark will act as host for this fifteenth Conference of the Parties (COP) under the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Officially, the stated goal of COP15, according to United Nations organizers, is “to stabilize the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous man-made climate changes.” They add that “this stabilization must occur in such a way as to give the ecosystems the opportunity to adapt naturally” without compromising food safety or hindering sustainable social and economic development around the world. 

Reed Smith environmental attorneys will be attending the conference as delegates, along with a significant number of business and political leaders, and will post daily from the ground on issues including progress toward a post-Kyoto agreement, decisions regarding technology transfer to developing countries, the future of the Clean Development Mechanism, and UN Program on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD).
