Why do developed countries have an historical climate debt to developing countries? By over-consuming the Earth's limited capacity to absorb greenhouse gases, developed countries have used more than their atmospheric space -which is required by developing countries to achieve their development- running up a 'climate debt' that consists in both an emissions and an adaptation debt.

How to peak global emissions within a decade: a practical way forward This event enables delegates to try their hand at negotiating a global deal sufficient to peak emissions by 2015. Focusing on the power sector, an interactive model allows countries to input their own targets for reducing emissions and stay within a global emissions budget consistent with 350ppm.

Ensuring climate equity in Copenhagen: voices of African youth Climate-induced troubles force thousands to migrate and reduce
opportunities. The equity of a global post-2012 climate agreement is not a
moral luxury, rather a political necessity. We will look at how this equity
must be built around the right to develop today and justice for tomorrow.

Climate change and intellectual property:challenges and options on the road to Copenhagen and beyond The IP system received much attention due to its close interrelation with technology to address climate change. Some scenarios cast IP as a barrier to technology transfer, while other cast it as part of the solution. Is it a problem or solution? This event will help you to take an informed view.

The profound factoring effect of population on carbon emissions Population multiplies environmental impacts but dilutes mitigation efforts. Two fifths of pregnancies globally are unwanted. Universal, voluntary family planning offers immediate and on-going gains in emission control. A billion fewer people by 2050 will reduce GHG emissions by over 10 per cent.
