The event will review the latest science on climate change emissions pathways required to keep below 2oC warming, and discuss impacts in Africa. It will present CAN’s discussions and proposals for moving towards an adequate post-2012 regime, proposals for the negotiating framework and possibilities for expanding contributions to global efforts to prevent dangerous climate change

Speakers at the forum are Bill Hare (Greenpeace International) on Preventing Dangerous Climate Change; Ever Hart Na Goma (Malawi) on Impacts and Adaptation Needs in Africa; Richard Worthington (South Africa CAN) on CAN Proposals for a Negotiating Framework; and Shruti Shukla (WWF-India) and Sanjay Vashist (CAN International) on Capacity Building in Four Countries to Engage in the Post-2012 regime.
