Objectives, Developments and Challenges
NINA NETZER
The 18th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 18) will take place in Doha, Qatar, from 26 November to 7 December 2012. The challenges on the agenda are large: Amongst others, a work programme for a new global agreement for all countries has to be set-up and the details of a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol have to be fleshed out.

The publication gives an overview of challenges ahead and expectations of different stakeholders for the negotiations.
