Conference "Sustaining people and the planet: a fair deal in Copenhagen"

The third ‘Road to Copenhagen’ conference organised byThe Club of Madrid, GLOBE Europe, Respect and the City of Malmö will take place 8-9 December 2009 in Malmö, Sweden.

Gro Harlem Brundtland, Mary Robinson and Margot Wallström chair the Road to Copenhagen climate initiative. It is a network of people – drawing from civil society organisations, business, academics and politicians - who want to see the conclusion of an ambitious and fair agreement in Copenhagen.

During a two-day conference we will work together with our chairs and distinguished participants, such as Kofi Annan, Tariq Banuri, Martin Frick, Thomas Heller, Jacqueline McGlade and Ed Barbier. Jointly we will explore the drivers for concluding a new agreement based on climate justice. We will in particular address the possible provisions on human rights, technological diffusion and financial mechanisms that should be included in the framework in order to ensure fair burden sharing.

The conference will conclude by finalizing a Communiqué that we - together with our chairs - will deliver (across the bridge from Malmö to Copenhagen) directly to the UNFCCC Secretariat. Please find attached the preliminary programme of the event.
