UN Climate Change Conference
Yesterday, I helped set up for a web conference between a meeting of policy analysts here at the Center for American Progress and a group of policy analysts at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP-17, in Durban, South Africa. For eco-nerds such as myself, the UN Climate Change Conferences are a big deal, even though every year we get our hopes up only to be severely disappointed in the ability of the world’s leaders to work together to really solve the pressing issue of climate change. But still, sitting in on the conference and listening to these experts in the field discuss the issue of Europe including all flights (including flights from the US) in their emissions trading scheme, which would impose taxes on the airlines, was really cool. Obviously, this is a very controversial topic and it was very interesting to hear the analysts discuss how they think this will play out between Europe, the US, and the airlines. It has been so cool to sit in on panels, conferences, and meetings related to environmental issues. I’ve learned so much over the semester by attending them. They are a great part of the experience.
