The Doha Conference

Lower in profile than some of its predecessors, the Doha conference (or the 18th conference of the

parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to give it its highfalutin

title) is the 2012 attempt to push towards an international agreement on climate change.

The stakes could hardly be higher … or expectations lower. To help get you get to grips with the

minutiae try the Climate Network’s daily update ‘Eco’ that you can find here:

‘ECO is a daily insiders look at what is happening in the negotiations. And perhaps more importantly, what

should happen at the negotiations from CAN’s perspective. ECO is published every day of the negotiations, and has been done so since the Stockholm Environment Conference in 1972.’

‘Eco’ has its moments of fun about the absurdity of some of the negotiations . See its ‘Fossil of the Day’ award.  Give it a try!
