Event Description
Prof. Bodansky discussed the outcomes of the 2009 Copenhagen climate change conference. Was it a success or failure? He also foreshadowed the Cancun Climate Change conference, which took place in Nov. 2010, asking whether any agreements that came out of Cancun were likely to do better than Copenhagen. Specifically, was the Cancun conference likely to produce a new legal agreement on climate change, either to supplement or replace the Kyoto Protocol? In his talk, Prof. Bodansky discussed the past, present, and future of international climate change negotiations.
