Bringing Diplomacy to a Boil: Options for Agreements in Copenhagen

Richard Faulk, Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP

Abstract

As of Tuesday night, United Nations negotiators still disagreed on the financial aid that the US, Japan and other developed nations will give to the developing world to cope with climate change, Bloomberg reports, referring to a draft document. Many believe that the conference is seriously deadlocked. Well, maybe so, but alternatives still exist, and they have not, at least according to all reports, been fully considered.
