November 29, 2007 - The David Suzuki Foundation is sending three official observers to the United Nations'
climate change conference in Bali, Indonesia.
The
two-week conference, from Dec. 3 to 14, will focus on laying the
groundwork for a new international climate change deal to ensure action
is taken after the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. More than 10,000
political leaders, policy makers, environmentalists and journalists
from more than 190 countries are expected to attend.
The
Suzuki Foundation is urging Canadian negotiators to take a leadership
role in creating a strong agreement in Bali and commit to deep, binding
emission reduction targets.
The following Suzuki Foundation
spokespeople will be in Bali to monitor the conference, and will be
available from Dec. 2 to 14 to speak to Canadian journalists about the
progress of the talks.
