Video Blogging From Bonn

Friends of the Earth staff share their take on international climate negotiations

International climate change negotiations are underway in Bonn, Germany. These negotiations, formally known as an “intercessional,” are running from June 1 to 12 and are intended to lay the groundwork for countries to form a binding agreement to tackle the climate crisis. The agreement is expected to be finalized during further negotiations in Copenhagen, Denmark, later this year.

Two Friends of the Earth U.S. staff (Kate Horner and Karen Orenstein) are in Bonn to participate in the negotiations, and they’re producing this video blog to keep folks back home up to speed. Check out the videos below to hear about Kate and Karen’s trip, and to learn more about the negotiations and the issues at stake.
