Sands Are Running Out for Climate Protection
The Doha Climate Conference Once Again Saves the UN Climate Process While Real Climate Action Is Shelved for Later
This report by Wolfgang Sterk, Christof Arens, Nicolas Kreibich, Florian Mersmann, and Timon Wehnert analyses the international climate negotiations at the UN climate conference in Doha in December 2012. The report is structured along the three main tracks of the negotiations: the agreement on a second commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol, the closure of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-Term Cooperative Action under the Convention, and the start of negotiations on a new comprehensive climate agreement that are to be concluded by 2015.
