Description
For the first time ever, developing and industrialized countries are crawling together toward a new treaty to reduce greenhouse gases. While there is serious doubt that a meaningful global deal will ever materialize, supporters of the UN process find hope in an agreement struck in Durban to craft by 2015 a new deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol. Others say that bureaucratic process will not produce a deal with teeth in time to avert climate catastrophe, and that bilateral and industry-focused pacts have a better chance of stemming carbon pollution. With the Rio + 20 conference on the horizon, join us for a conversation with top experts surveying international efforts to wean the world off fossil fuels.Tom Heller, Executive Director, Climate Policy Initiative; Professor, Stanford Law School
