The
International Forum on Globalization is pleased to announce
a series of informal briefings followed by open discussions
about the December 2007 UN climate conference in Bali, Indonesia,
which launched a two-year process to negotiate new agreements
to address global climate change. See below for when
and where the first two will be held.
Although most media coverage focused
on the summit's lack of targets and commitments to cut emissions,
the Bali Roadmap also provides a number of important opportunities,
as well as potential threats, that civil society must engage
over the next two-years, concluding with signed deals in Copenhagen
by the end of 2009.
The aim is nothing less than a
de-carbonization of the Hydrocarbon Age within a few decades,
so what's at stake is an historic re-alignment of the global
economics and politics. Because the Bay Area acts as a
leading center of global activity to address climate change,
this is one in a series of policy briefings the IFG is organizing
to better engage the Bay Area directly in the UN climate process.

Jerry Mander will be teaching a weeek-long course at Schumacher College in England March 11-16, 2007. The primary focus will

as corporations seek to exploit the planet's remaining resources located on indigenous lands. This is part of a three-week course on Indigenous Peoples
and the Natural World, running March 4-23 at Schumacher College.
