By today, the UNFCCC was no longer registering any NGO representatives. Unfortunately this caused a considerable problem for many who had travelled and invested a significant amount to prepare for Copenhagen.  At least one Canadian First Nations community had attempted to bring elders and youth – but they were unable to get into the conference centre.
 

Newcomers to the Conference of the Parties' (COP) annual gathering quickly realize that this is a very overwhelming event to attend.  Indeed this year, it is even overwhelming for very experienced delegates in many ways.  In part, this might be due to the arithmetic at play for this year's conference and the fact that the number of individuals accredited far exceeds the conference facilities' capacity.
 

Throughout the Conference of the Parties 15 (COP), Sustainable Prosperity's (SP) presence and activities are closely integrated with those of a larger group of partners, in particular with the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL)  and the International Development Law Organisation (IDLO), who have adopted a joint agenda focused on law and policy measures for the low-carbon economy, carrying forward SP's work on environmental pricing reform to the global climate change debates.
