In December 2009, the 15th Conference of Parties assembled in Copenhagen to revisit the Kyoto Protocol and seek to develop a worldwide consensus on regulating greenhouse gas emissions in developed and developing countries.  While an international treaty was not achieved, there were significant successes and failures realized through this hallmark event, which saw nearly 50,000 delegates worldwide descend upon Copenhagen to participate.

ACCO and BNA invite you to a discussion on the successes and failures of COP-15, and the impacts this event will have on the US policymaking process at Federal and sub-national levels.
