COP-13 Starting today: Published on 03 December 2007

UNFCCC COP-13 is starting today. Our organization is participating with a global contingent consisting of 1 person from every region. The team is lead by International Climate Change Coordinator Mr. Charles Enhart, who is based in Kenya.

This year, climate Change was highlighted like never before, and 5 heads of states are expected to participate. The most dramatic participation is from the newly elected Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd. Till last week, Australia was against the climate Change negotiations under the earlier Prime Minister. But now the tables turned, and Australia came into the fold of rest of the world, mercilessly isolating USA.

The newspapers are full of Climate Change. The English news paper 'Jakarta Post' is carrying special supplement every day for these two weeks. Its even delivered free to all the hotels in Bali!

I am presently involved in making Climate Change Strategy for our organization, which I hope can finish by the end of this week.
