National Resource Defense Council Recommendations for International Climate Negotiations in Mexico

Important Actions Can be Accomplished at Global Warming Negotiations in Mexico

|

We are not going to get a binding treaty in Cancun, Mexico when 194 countries meet to continue negotiations on international efforts to address climate change. And we are not going to finalize all of the details of new international efforts. So if you think the world only addresses climate change through a binding agreement and when all the details of the global effort are finalized, you’ll be disappointed in Mexico.  But if you believe, as I do, that real action can occur without a “binding” agreement or having all the details completed you’ll be surprised to learn that some key things might actually happen in Cancun.  NRDC has outlined some more detailed perspectives on what should be included in each of those agreements in order to make tangible progress and begin the hard work of implementing real action on the ground (available in English and Spanish).
