COPENHAGEN: DECEMBER 14, 2009

The conference is a lesson in chaos theory. There are literally hundreds of things going on at once, including a 60,000-person demonstration that shut the city down, including the metro for several hours. A mix between a tradeshow, sustainability conference, and a policy/government wonkfest, there are opportunities to learn and share constantly. Two highlights from my first day on Saturday included a session on REDD and a panel with National Wildlife Federation President, Larry Schweiger. Full Report here.
