Survival at stake? What is needed in Copenhagen for the most vulnerable?

Saturday, 6 June 2009

On the 6th of June, 2009, in the context of the UNFCCC climate change negotiations in Bonn ("Bonn II"), Germanwatch organised in cooperation with multiple partners from civil society, the one-day international conference and film festival "Development and Climate Day". Entitled "Survival at stake? What is needed in Copenhagen for the most vulnerable?", it focused on addressing options, needs and limits to adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change in the developing world. Keynote speeches, panel debates and movies shown in the film festival allowed the participants to increase their knowledge and exchange their many, varying experiences. Thus, the D+C day brought together different perspectives, from community-based adaptation to national-level policymakers, and negotiators in the UNFCCC talks on a Copenhagen Agreement. Around 150 participants from a wide spectrum and from more than 20 countries attended the event which took place in the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn, Germany.

This Conference Report provides summaries of the different sessions of the conference and thus gives an overview of many of the relevant issues under debate in the context of climate change, development and adaptation. It also gives an overview of the movies shown at the festival, including web links where available.
