In August, 196 countries will meet in China to agree a plan for sustaining life on earth.We’re delighted to be joined by Bernadette Fischler Hooper, Head of International Advocacy at WWF.Fresh from pre-meetings in Geneva, she will provide an overview of how the conference is taking shape, the key decisions which must be addressed in order to protect species and ecosystems, and what news-gatherers should be looking out for ahead of the conference in August.
This session is specifically designed for those working in news although other interested parties are welcome to attend.
