| Connie Hedegaard - she fears radicalism if Paris flops. |
t the world’s last
“blockbuster” climate summit, in Copenhagen in 2009, the person in the
president’s chair was former EU climate commissioner and Danish environment
minister Connie Hedegaard.
As someone who has led many important international efforts
to reduce the risks of climate change but who also presided over what many felt
was a frustrating result in Copenhagen, she has a unique perspective on the
hype and hopes for December’s crunch climate summit in Paris.
The Sydney Democracy Network invited her to a discussion
where she engaged with participants including the new chief executive of the
Investor Group on Climate Change, Emma Herd, Clean Energy Finance Corporation
chair Jillian Broadbent and Climate Council chair Tim Flannery.
Read the comments by Adjunct professor at University of
Sydney, Nick Rowley, who writes on The
Conversation - “‘I fear we will see radicalisation’ if Paris climate talks flop, says chair of 2009 Copenhagen summit”.
