Payal Parekh, Climate Program Director at International Rivers, will be presenting on the panel along with activists and researchers from 350.org (Jamie Henn), EcoEquity (Tom Athanasiou), and the Rainforest Action Network (Bil Barclay). May Boeve from 350.org will moderate.

Among the topics we will be discussing are the North/South impasse, the emergence of organized "Most Vulnerable Countries" blocs, the actual demands of the 350 ppm pathway, the U.S. strategy, offsets and other loopholes, REDD, historical responsibility, class, and the potential for a global emergency climate mobilization.

This event is free. A $5 donation at the door to support the participating groups will be greatly appreciated.
