Doreen Stabinsky is blogging for IATP from the UN climate talks in Durban, South Africa.
One of the major issues being considered here at COP17 is adaptation.
In this December 6, 2011 episode, Julia Olmstead discusses U.S. exports and why they are not "feeding the world," Jim Harkness speaks on the Occupy movement and Karen Hansen-Kuhn speaks about IATP's aspirations at the Durban climate talks.
Statement by IATP at the 17th UNFCCC Conference of the Parties in response to President Jacob Zuma's committing the South African presidency of the COP to producing a decision to start an agricultural work program as a Durban "deliverable", and what Africa will get for helping to engineer this decision.
This was issued as a joint press release by the Gaia Foundation, African Biodiversity Network (ABN) and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy during the Durban UNFCCC climate talks.
As the global climate talks began this week in Durban, South Africa, IATP joined more than 100 civil society organizations in calling for countries to reject efforts to place agricultural soils within a carbon market.
