Abstract

During the Copenhagen climate change negotiations in December 2009, as the talks concluded tensely for government representatives, coalitions of environmental groups were disappointed because their efforts to play a participatory role had been frustrated. The silencing of the nongovernmental organization (“NGO”) perspective runs counter to established international principles of broad participation in multilateral environmental agreements (“MEAs”), and is particularly troubling in light of the global challenge climate change poses to humanity.
