[LINK] Post Copenhagen Climate Change Event Live from Canberra

[Tom Worthington]

Greetings from "Post Copenhagen: Where Do We Go Now?" at the Australian
National University, in Canberra:
<http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2010/02/post-copenhagen-climate-change-event.html>. 

The event is also streamed live online
<http://www.livestream.com/anuchannel>.

Professor Will Steffen, Executive Director of the ANU Climate Change
Institute is hosting. More than 50 ANU staff and students attended the
Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. They provided
insights on what happened.

Some insights so far:

* One Russian spokesperson make commitments one day and a different one
explained these were not going to be commitments the next day,
* Developing nations argued for financial help to mitigate climate
change. There were allegations that this was being used to gloss over
the lack of progress. There were also issues as to if any funding would
be new and would actually be paid.

The Australian Government's Climate Change Ambassador will be speaking
at ANU tomorrow:
<http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2010/02/climate-change-and-development.html>.

My suggestion is that ANU should host online forums on behalf of 
Australia to provide a low emission high efficiency place to negotiate 
the Copenhagen Climate Change global agreement.
