Copenhagen, Denmark
As world leaders gather in Copenhagen in December for global talks on action to address climate change, Global Footprint Network will host a roundtable discussion at the office of the European Environment Agency located at Kongens Nytorv 6, 1050 Copenhagen K in Denmark. The roundtable will help leaders see the self-interest in bold and timely action, whatever the result of international accords. The discussion is aimed at demonstrating the self-interest case for governments to act – why there is a strong strategic motive for governments to be pioneers and, conversely, a risk to being the laggards. It will look at ecological trends to highlight the emerging importance of biocapacity as a valuable national asset and give decision-makers the data they need to be best prepared for a resource-constrained world.
