Dear friends and colleagues,

We are pleased to send you the attached article “Copenhagen Battle for Climate Action with Equity” by Martin Khor, executive director of South Centre, that has just been published in the journal Economic and Political Weekly (India) issue dated 28 November 2009. A comprehensive analysis of what will not happen in Copenhagen and what may be the outcome is provided.

According to the blurb:

“It now seems certain that the United Nations conference on climate change in Copenhagen in December will not see the adoption of a detailed and legally binding agreement. But a political declaration with a framework for a future global deal that is more likely to emerge from the summit would be no less important, for such a declaration will draw the contours of an agreement on climate change and cover many issues of importance for the developing countries – the future of the Kyoto Protocol, common and differentiated responsibilities of rich and poor countries and an agenda for the ‘advanced developing countries’.  This article outlines the challenges before the developing  countries at Copenhagen”.

With best wishes,
Third World Network
