In
light of beginning negotiations on further action / post 2012, Ecologic
organised the workshop "Future Climate Change Policy: Looking
beyond 2012". The workshop was the fourth of a series of events
commissioned by the European Commission. On the first day, the workshop
discussed “Future Climate Change Policy in Cyprus, Hungary,
Malta and Slovenia”. On the second day, the workshop dealt
with “Post 2012: The International Climate Change Negotiating
Context and the new Member States, Accession and Candidate Countries”.
Workshop
goals
Taking into account the specific circumstances in the new Member
States, Accession and Candidate Countries, this workshop intended
to discuss the specific needs of these countries as well as realistic
negotiation scenarios for the post-2012 commitments. Views were
exchanged on how the EU, and in particular the countries addressed,
should build on the Kyoto Protocol and work together after 2012
to fight climate change. The workshop provided representatives from
a range of institutions and stakeholder groups an opportunity to
contribute to the debate on the future of EU and global climate
policy.
The
workshop assembled 46 representatives from politics, business, science
and non-governmental organisations in the new Member States, Acceding
and Candidate Countries. Government representatives from the EU-15
as well as the European Commission also attended.
