The next COP, which will take place in Qatar at the end of November is just round the corner. Following up from the big debate that took place last year the Greens/EFA group is organising an event to assess the progress that has been made since the last UN climate discussions in Durban last year, exchange on the issues that are at stake and discuss what role Europe could play to ensure that a comprehensive and ambitious agreement is found in Doha.
