David Suzuki Foundation launches Bali Blog

The foundation's Bali Blog will be a resource for all things related to the conference, which will be held from December 3 to 14. The blog will be regularly updated during the next two weeks leading up to the conference. Suzuki Foundation staff will also be live blogging from Bali.

More than 10,000 political leaders, journalists and delegates from 190 countries are expected to attend the conference. The main goal of the Bali conference is to get negotiations going on the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol. The first phase of the Kyoto Protocol will end in 2012. The Bali conference is expected to set the framework for a new international climate change deal -- the second phase of Kyoto -- to ensure action is taken immediately after 2012.
