UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen

(updated)

Dan DaSilva of Towards Recognition is in Copenhagen for the climate change conference. He has listed some of the events scheduled to take place that focus on migration and/or displacement, and hopefully, will be updating readers on some of the relevant discussions. This would be helpful since the official web site for the conference is somewhat daunting to navigate! However, a more user-friendly "Daily Programme" is available and worth checking. In addition, numerous multimedia options are provided, including webcasts, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, and more.

In the interim, here are some random climate-related resources I've come across recently:
