Looking forward: In spite of the slow negotiations, COP16 is a chance to give the climate negotiations a boost, make an agreement to halt deforestation (in the REDD negotiations), and agree a mechanism for technology transfer, a framework for financing, and a shared vision to limit man-made global warming to 1.5 - 2°C as already stated in the Copenhagen Accord. Further, the countries could agree reductions of aviation and shipping as well as making CDM sustainable. Then the road would be clear for agreements in 2011 on the many other outstanding issues.

INFORSE Members' Side Events:

INFORSE member organisations organised side event: Among others, ENDA and LIFE e.V. :

- ENDA: Hosted by Environnement et Developpement du Tiers-Monde (ENDA-TM)

- LIFE: Co-hosted by Institute of Development Studies (IDS), and LIFE e.V.
3 December, 2010, Jaguar Room
Ulrike Roehr who is also representing the INFORSE member organisation Life e.V took part in an innovating and inspiring new thinking on the social dimensions of climate change event.
What rationales are behind climate change debates? How are they linked to gendered roles, knowledge and responsibilities? The event reflected innovative thinking on these issues from the BRIDGE cutting edge programme and discuss how to create wise, sustainable solutions.
There is a lot of knowledge available on how to mitigate climate change based on local, decentralised technologies and knowledge. Ideas and recommendations were presented how a meaningful participation of women can transcend the barriers to spread and implement this knowledge.
