About us
2015 marks the confluence of two opportunities, the outcomes of which will shape the future of our planet for a generation: the Post-2015 summit in New York in September is meant to agree on a new sustainable development agenda for the world, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change COP 21 in Paris in December is designed to forge international agreement on tackling climate change.
