Democracy and climate change interviews

The Copenhagen Climate Summit, held from 7th to 18th December 2009, was a milestone in the relationship between democracy and climate change. As government negotiators at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change tried to hammer out a deal, hundreds of events on every conceivable aspect of climate change took place on the margins in meeting spaces around the city.

FDSD’s Halina Ward was in Copenhagen during the Summit, and she took the opportunity to ask a range of people their views on the relationship between democracy and climate change.

We will be incorporating some of the ideas from these interviews into our project on the Future of Democracy in the Face of Climate Change to 2100.
