Hopenhagen Don Carli, who makes a regular appearance on these pages, is in Copenhagen to cover the last week of the COP15 Climate Summit reporting on how the decisions being made there are likely to impact the forestry, papermaking, printing, publishing and IT sectors that the graphic arts depend on. Headlines from his most recent dispatch:
Danish Police were out in full force this morning with tear gas, water cannons and riot gear, but the early morning crowds approaching the Bella Center were quiet and orderly. A proposal aimed at saving tropical forests — and reducing emissions by doing so — suffered a setback this weekend when climate negotiators dropped plans for faster action on the problem because of financing concerns.
After waiting in line for 2 days to get into the event, Don is now publishing regularly.
