Climate Negotiators meet with Business at Wilton Park

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

At the annual REEEP-Wilton Park event last week, more than sixty representatives of business, government and climate negotiators met to discuss climate change and energy security post-Bali. This was the first time that REEEP invited climate negotiators to the event . Business typically does not have access to the inner circles of Kyoto climate negotiations.

A major outcome was the realization that the developed world’s accountability will have to increase with respect to emissions reduction work in the developing world.  Actions will have to be “measurable and verifiable”.

A report of the outcomes will be published in September.
