Not so optimistic

+Durban Climate Change Conference

No new pledge has been made by any country to control the emission of the greenhouse gases that are warming the atmosphere.

The birth of the Green Climate Fund

Carbon market will survive, at least until 2017.

Developing countries can continue projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

+ Bonn Climate Change Conference

May 2012NO marked development about

The Kyoto Protocol

Some preparation for the Doha conference

+ The rich nation should play an

exemplary role

Why?

India, where half the people still do not

have electricity.

The cuts will have to come from the rich

of that happening soon.

Today, we gather here to

discuss a problem that is irrelevant to

no one.

Yes, we can!Yes, we can!
