Starting December 7, more than 15,000 people and 60 heads of state and government — including Prime Minister Stephen Harper — will gather in Copenhagen, Denmark, for a two-week negotiation session to hammer out the next global climate agreement.
The Pembina Institute will have representatives available in both Copenhagen and Ottawa to comment on climate change developments and Canada's performance at the summit. Our Copenhagen team will be posting real-time updates to our blog at www.pembina.org/blogs, and you can find more resources for reporters at www.pembina.org/climate/copenhagen — including links to follow us on Twitter and Facebook or access high-res photos of the summit through our Flickr gallery.
Pembina's backgrounder on climate change at the 2009 UN Climate Summit is available at www.pembina.org/pub/1935. Our set of five factsheets on climate change — covering the international negotiations, economics, science, technology and policy solutions, and communications — are available at www.pembina.org/climate/facing-the-climate-challenge .
