Follow up on yesterday...

The reason for my interest in the round table climate change debates at the United Nations is that my father works as an interpreter there. I called him to ask if he would be working for any of the debates and he said yes and promised to fill me in on what they were discussing. I just got this email from him.

"hi--i interpreted today at a round table of un conf. on cc. the member states are all preparing like mad for the copenhagen conference in a few months to establish a post-kyoto strategy for after 2012 but there are still doubts among developed and developing countries about getting enough aid to developing countries for mitigation and adaptation plans and about the developed countries' ability to meet targets, and what are realistic and achievable targets for carbon and greenhouse gas emissions reductions, carbon sequestration etc.
"

There does not seem to have been any progress made in this debate since the first Kyoto initiative.
