This ecbi Annual Report summarises an important period in the history of the UN climate negotiations, including the run-up and aftermath of the Copenhagen Conference; and preparations for the landmark Cancún Conference. The ecbi organised 14 events over the last 12 months, attended by approximately 290 participants - making this one of our busiest years. In addition to reports of these events, there is evidence to show that that ecbi activities have had direct and positive impacts on the international negotiations, the negotiating capacity of countries and regions, and the capacity of individual negotiators.
