Copenhagen: Day 2

The Climate Action Network, a global group of about 500 non-governmental organizations promoting worldwide action to limit climate change, is providing daily updates from the international climate summit under way Dec. 7-18 in Copenhagen.

The video above provides an overview of Day 2: France steps up, Europe can afford to contribute, and a look at the deforestation loophole, among other issues.

CAN’s take away from the conference so far: “A lot of talk, not much walk.”
