The Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and
the Fondazione Giorgio Cini are very pleased to announce the Launch
Event of the International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG) to be
held on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice on April 15, 2010. On the same occasion, the Climate Policy Initiative
(CPI) announces the launch of its activities in Venice. This joint
Launch Event is the beginning of a collaboration between FEEM, ICCG and
CPI, and also marks the opening of FEEM and ICCG new offices in Venice.
The focus of this event will be to look back
at the events in Copenhagen and look forward to the implications for
international climate policy. For this purpose, a distinguished group
of experts from the policy and research community will provide insights
on the dynamics behind the negotiations in Copenhagen, the consequences
for the public sector, and the way ahead.
The Launch Event will be held on April 15, 2010 from 9.00 a.m.
to 12.30 p.m. in the magnificent Cenacolo of the Fondazione Giorgio
Cini on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
