Climate Change - A Deal at Copenhagen? - by Margot Wallstrom, Eileen Claussen, Mohamed El-Ashry, and Jessica Tuchman
Although the upcoming negotiations at Copenhagen are highly anticipated, the actual prospect of reaching a deal that can be ratified is increasingly unlikely. Yet there is a general consensus that the world cannot afford for the negotiations in Copenhagen to end with inaction. The stakes are too high: the survival of many developing nations, particularly small island states, is at risk. Margot Wallstrom, vice president of the European Commission, Eileen Claussen, president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and Mohamed El-Ashry, senior fellow at the UN Foundation, joined Carnegie’s Jessica T. Mathews for a discussion of the potential outcomes at Copenhagen and the steps needed to ensure that the negotiations can be viewed as at least a partial success.
