The Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL) invites all those interested to a special event on a post-United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Climate Change Legal Experts will present the outcomes of the UN Climate Conference in Doha in December 2012 as well as the challenges lying ahead.
The 2012 United Nations Climate Change Conference produced the “The Doha Climate Gateway”, a collection of documents containing the extension of the Kyoto Protocol until 2020; some progress with regards the Green Climate Fund; and lastly, the articulation for the first time of the principle of “loss and damage.” The panel will focus on the specific achievements of the Conference and their impacts. Experts, including CISDL delegates, will also provide their own experience from Doha.
