- What key strategies can take all parties in the UN process to agreement in Copenhagen in 2009?
- How can emerging economies establish a fair process for reducing emissions which will not also restrict their growth?
- How can investment in new low carbon technologies be scaled up? Can emerging economies play a role in developing these technologies as well as benefiting from them?
- How can carbon markets be designed to be effective whilst addressing equity concerns of developing countries? What institutions are needed to support the development of a robust global carbon market?
