Climate Change Media Partnership

Development and Climate Days are critical for people interested in learning about the latest in climate change and international development and for building contacts with key policymakers, researchers and negotiators from around the world. Please register to participate in this event.

Negotiators from nearly 200 governments are in Durban, South Africa for crucial talks towards a new global agreement on how to tackle climate change. The fate of the Kyoto protocol – the only agreement that legally binds countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases – hangs in the balance, as its first commitment period expires in 2012.

Internews, Panos and IIED have joined forces to support developing world journalism and perspectives from the heart of the international climate negotiations.

Bangladesh is calling for the rights of environmental refugees to be recognised as the country battles rising sea levels and chronic poverty.

Interview with IIED's Dr Saleemul Huq on what the upcoming negotiations mean for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), what funding options for adaptation will look like with the advent of the global economic recession, why media coverage from a LDC perspective is so crucial and what we can expect to see from the big hitters at the climate conference in Copenhagen.
