A few days after the much discussed climate summit held in New York, CONNECT member Oscar Widerberg wrote a brief analysis on a Swedish climate negotaition blog discussing the outcomes of the week-long event.

It opens up for a series of interesting questions on whether to further integrate these actors into the UNFCCC and what practical issues that need to be solved, in particular on how to reap synergies between different climate initiatives and avoid conflicts.
