The Forum officially launched the new issue with a RECEPTION and PANEL DISCUSSION ON CLIMATE CHANGE at Ballout Hall
on November 14, 2001.
The discussion, entitled "Can Kyoto Succeed in this Climate?" included
Dan Reifsnyder, former senior member of the U.S. negotiating team on climate change
Kilaparti Ramakrishna, deputy director, Woods Hole Research Institute
Christopher Loreti, senior manager of Global Environment and Risk, Arthur D. Little
Background
The event had fortuitous timing, coming just days after the conclusion of the COP 7 climate change talks in Marakesh, Morocco. The COP discussions, of which Kyoto was one, are those in which world governments are negotiating to bring down their carbon dioxide emissions. The discussions have been essentially stalemated since the United States decided to withdraw its support of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. At Marakesh, however, states are said to have moved forward, breaking ground for an initiative that will not include the world’s largest economy.
