The aims of this forum:
- To build on the momentum created at Poznan by engaging with a broad base of stakeholders and communicating to them what transpired there and what it means to the global community, including Malaysia.
- To discuss what would make a satisfactory conclusion at Copenhagen, what needs to be done to achieve it and possible challenges ahead.
The forum will be designed to communicate the key decisions made in Poznan and assess its progress, highlight the path towards Copenhagen and the challenges that lie ahead, and examine what these mean for all.
Target audience
Broad bases of stakeholders including those in government, academia, non-governmental organisations, including think tanks, business and industry, and the media.
