The Eighth Conference of Parties (COP 8) of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is taking
place in Delhi, from October 23 to 30, 2002. This seminar
will address several important questions facing policymakers
in the climate change debate:
- Is climate change occurring, and if so, is it because
of human intervention?
- What is the best energy strategy for poor countries
to pursue: 'clean development' and 'renewable energy',
or simply increased energy consumption?
- What implications does climate change have for development?
- Will climate change lead to increased incidence of diseases
such as malaria?
These expert panellists will discuss these questions from
a variety of viewpoints, especially as to how these issues
affect India.
Please join us for tea and refreshments at the end of the
discussions.
