Ask your climate negotiator

UN Climate Tracker Phil Ireland sat down with Australia’s Ambassador for Climate Change, Louise Hand to ask her a set of questions regarding the 2010 UN Climate Summit in Cancun which began yesterday, November 29th.

Louise discussed her expectations for the UN Climate Summit, potential blockages to progress, Australia’s role in establishing a Global Climate Fund, and whether Australia’s position on climate change has shifted with the Gillard government.

What do you think of Louise’s answers? Are there other questions you’d like to get answers on? If so add them as a comment below and we’ll do our best to take them to the Australian delegation.
