Boston University had sent a large contingent of students and faculty<\/a> to the global climate change summit held at Copenhagen last December. This included BU students whose attendance had been supported by the BU Provost’s Office, the Office of the BU Dean of Students, and the Pardee Center<\/a>. The Pardee Center which is a designated UN observer organization for the United Nations Convention on Climate Change had organized this participation.<\/p>\n

This set of panels allowed BU faculty and students who had been at Copenhagen to analyze what their experience from attending these global negotiations. The panels focussed on the expectations that the participants had gone with to Copenhagen and also the lessons they brought back. In particular the student participants highlighted that the biggest surprise and lesson they brought back was about the importance of adaptation. A lot of the discussions in the two panels centered around the role played by the United States and by China in these negotiations. Further coverage of the event can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first panel was titled \u201cThe Road to Copenhagen,\u201d while the second maintained a focus on \u201cThe Road from Copenhagen.\u201d<\/p>\n
