In
light of beginning negotiations on further action / post 2012, Ecologic
– Institute for International and European Environmental Policy
– organised the workshop "Future Climate Change Policy
in the Baltic States: Looking beyond 2012". The
workshop was the second in a series of events commissioned by the
European Commission and organised in cooperation with

(IVM) at the Free
University of Amsterdam,
- the Foundation for International Environmental
Law and Development (FIELD), London,

Research (DIW), Berlin as well as
- a network of experts.
Against
this background, it was the workshop's aim to:
- help facilitate a societal debate in
the Baltic States on the
challenges and opportunities arising from future climate change
policy,
- exchange views on how the EU, and
the new Member States, in particular the Baltic States, should
build on the Kyoto Protocol and how countries should work together
after 2012 to fight climate change,
- involve relevant political actors
in the discussions,
- carry out a needs assessment in the
Baltic States.
The
workshop brought together 42 key players and opinion leaders from
politics, business, non-governmental organisations, research institutes
and think tanks in the Baltic Countries as well as European Institutions.
