 It's a two-week event. It happens every year. It's called the COP, the Conference of the Parties. It's in Durban, South Africa this year. The climate finance and the future of the Kyoto Protocol are probably the two biggest issues at stake in Durban. The Kyoto Protocol was struck in 1997, and it was actually setting some firm emissions limits for many of the big countries, although the U.S. did not sign on. It expires next year in 2012. And so the big talk is, will there be a successor treaty that will be agreed to? In addition to that, there's a lot of discussion about some agreements that were struck in Cancun last year regarding climate finance. A lot of the developed countries agreed to provide 100 billion of funding for mitigation and adaptation in these poorer countries. But unfortunately, we haven't seen that money materialize yet. And so a lot of the debate has been around finger-pointing, and will we see some of the funds materialize? There are 194 countries officially represented. You see thousands and thousands of NGOs, IGOs, other governments, as well as an increasing amount of the business community. We've seen, especially since Copenhagen, where there was a rise in business interest because of the pressure that was put on for that meeting, a lot of the sectors are coming. And it's really not just the traditional, maybe the heavy industry or energy. We're seeing agriculture and water. They see a very strong stake in sort of proper resource management. How does this get folded into the climate change process? Well the World Economic Forum has been invited by the South African government to co-host a series called the Durban Growth Series. We're really happy to welcome President Zuma, who will kick us off on Sunday morning. And it will be a series of discussions with leaders in government and industry. The government specifically asked us, can you come up with really tangible, good, concrete examples of successful partnerships at the national or sub-national level, where people are really achieving green growth, and we're seeing real results. We're going to have sessions on clean energy. It features some really good progress that the country of India has made with the national solar mission, as well as Kenya looking at renewable energy. We'll then have a session on water and adaptation. And that session will be featuring South Africa, who has just struck a new partnership for water resource management. And then also we'll have something on agriculture with Tanzania, who has developed a really interesting green growth corridor to attract investment for agriculture and green growth there. The sessions will have ministers and CEOs and business leaders talking with each other about this partnership has worked. How can we have more of these, and how can we scale them up to achieve the climate change challenge? Well, we've had a lot of success so far in the area of water resource management and agricultural plan development. And in both of those areas, we've done this sort of model where we've come into these emerging markets and there's a lot of growth, there's a lot of demand for energy and food that are needed, a lot of job creation that's needed. And what we try to do is bring together the right stakeholders and form sort of a country coalition. How do we help the country of Tanzania, for example, develop a green growth agricultural strategy? Let's bring some of the fertilizer companies, agricultural companies, even the end users, some of the consumer products companies, and talk about what they would invest in and how to make an attractive investment environment and then give advice in terms of policies that we've seen work in other countries. So we've worked in Tanzania, Vietnam, Mexico, and several other countries with agriculture and water. We've worked with Jordan and Mexico, Mongolia, China, India. So we're starting to get a bit of a coalition of peers that are looking at each other and seeing that these models can work. And then we're working as well on clean energy. So that's sort of a newer area looking at, as I said, India and Kenya.
