In Focus: Climate Summit in Copenhagen – China moves to centre stage of the climate negotiations

On 7 December the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP15, opens in Copenhagen. Ahead of the summit, international attention has increasingly focused on the US and China as the key players of the conference.

In this week’s In Focus blog (http://www.asiaportal.info) Jørgen Delman, Professor of China Studies at Copenhagen University, analyses the background to the Chinese position and the options available for the Chinese negotiators.

Professor Delman argues that by sorting out its ambitions, priorities and specific implementation measures with regard to mitigation of climate change at the national level, China has placed itself in an advantageous negotiation position vis-à-vis the other major players, especially the US.

In the In Focus section of the AsiaPortal we address an up-to-date topic and ask a Nordic expert in this area to write a short opinion in an attached blog. We warmly welcome researchers, students, experts and others interested in the topic to give their comments in the blog.

We would also like to form a network of people who would be interested in participating with opinions in future In Focus themes. Anyone interested can contact us on [email protected]
