Climate Conferencing Day 2 Participant Observation Notes

Uncategorized 1 Minute
Day 2 APHR Climate Conferencing Notes ‘Emissions need to accompany economic development’ said the popular Thai Politician Pita and the Filipinos spoke on the legal aspects of the transition. The transnational haze panel was needed. The civil society was terrific with questions on cement emissions, couple of ones from @klimaaction were mind blowing. Environmental civil society is certainly alive and well in this region. The critical takeaway was from the Subang MP, who said why can’t the ASEAN prepare its own standards while a prominent public intellectual voice was skeptical about the scalability of carbon markets in Malaysia due to transparency issues. One of the best climate events attended, with grace and substance in equal measure.
