New Zealand had a prominent role at the Conference of the Parties in Durban late last year, both in brokering solutions and coming up with ideas.  The seminar will discuss the Durban results, and assess the prospects of the international negotiations up to 2020, including the issues of most interest to New Zealand.

Dr Adrian Macey was New Zealand's first climate change ambassador from 2006-2010, and has wide experience of multilateral negotiations, including the Uruguay and Doha rounds of the GATT/WTO. In 2011 he was the Chair of the Kyoto Protocol negotiations. He is a Senior Associate of the Institute of Policy Studies, School of Government, Victoria University.
