Doha, Qatar (November 26, 2012)– The world is spiraling toward climate disaster and the UNFCCC negotiations have not made necessary progress to avoid reaching planetary tipping points. We need to think differently and for that, we need an equitable representation of perspectives at the table. Hosted by the Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), this informal ‘brownbag lunch’ invites observers and participants in the UNFCCC process to join on representation and transforming these negotiations via diversity and inclusivity.
