Towards a climate change research agenda post Copenhagen
Bonn, Saturday, 5 June 2010

Venue: Solar (Ministry of Environment)
This side event addresses the broader post-Copenhagen issues with the aim to help the negotiation
process based on research results. Existing research issues are identified, evaluated and introduced
in the negotiations process. Another objective is to identify research gaps and a future research
agenda. The side event is one in a series of on on-going series of seminars focusing on the
interaction of research and negotiations. It will be followed by a half-day seminar on 8 June entitled
“The emerging climate change research agenda post-Copenhagen: priorities, gaps and unknowns”.
