Woods Hole Research Center’s Role at COP 12
The Woods Hole Research Center played an active role in the proceedings of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) Twelfth Conference of the Parties Nov. 6 - 17 in Nairobi, Kenya. With a focus on climate change mitigation policies that would work synergistically with development goals in the emerging economies of the world, Center staff led sessions on compensating avoided deforestation and other "win-win" strategies, including clean-coal technologies, biomass gasification, transportation, and reduced indoor and outdoor air pollution.
