The 2008 US Presidential Election: What Might it Mean for International Climate Change Cooperation?
Clipore hosted a conference on The 2008 US Presidential Election: What Might it Mean for International Climate Change Cooperation? on the 15th of October, three weeks ahead of the 2008 US presidential elections. The aim was to examine the potential impact that a new presidential administration might have concerning future efforts to address the climate change threat.
The next US president's climate protection agenda, regional and national climate policies in the US, and the potential for the US and the EU to provide joint leadership to address the challenge of climate change and forge a new post-Kyoto agreement were all among the issues that were addressed.
