After Copenhagen - the Tactics and the Treaty

from COP-15?
- What were the negotiating tactics behind it?
- Can an ambitious and binding treaty still be agreed?
Broadcast on 27th January 2010,
ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION
In the wake of the COP-15 summit in Copenhagen, the first Earthcast of 2010 examined the treaty that emerged, the negotiating tactics behind it, and what the next steps are likely to be.
Experts Michael Grubb, David Satterthwaite and Richard Smith dissected the agreement and asked whether future negotiations could establish a binding treaty that set ambitious limits for the large emitters while supporting developing nations financially and technologically.
Michael Grubb is editor-in-chief of the Earthscan journal Climate Policy, Chair of Climate Strategies and a Professor at the University of Cambridge.
David Satterthwaite has written or edited nine Earthscan books, including Adapting Cities to Climate Change and The Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Cities.

An Economy Fit for a Low Carbon World – The Pre-COP Earthcast
- Can economies be redesigned for a low-carbon future?
- What opportunities does the financial crisis present?
Broadcast on 25th November 2009
ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION
READ TIM JACKSON'S LATEST BLOG POSTING
 Tim Jackson developed the first Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare for the UK (a ‘green GDP’) in the 1990s, and is now one of the most influential advocates of worldwide economic reform.
This special pre-Copenhagen Earthcast examined the challenges that lie ahead if current economic systems are to support the development of a low carbon future.
Tim Jackson was joined by Robert Costanza, contributor to the Worldwatch Institute's The State of the World 2010 and ecological economist Peter Victor for a debate that explored ways of reorganising economies so that emissions reductions and well-being are prioritised.
