Making Copenhagen count

Day Five at COP15

Day five at COP15 is an important day for FFI with a number of side events focused on REDD.

Welcome to COP15

The Bella Centre, home of COP15, is made up of exhibitions and side events in addition to the behind the scenes negotiations. COP15 is among the first large political international conferences to use energy-saving lighting and the conference’s sustainability policy has inspired a number of suppliers to rethink and advance their own policies. Even the uniforms are environmentally friendly and made out of recycled plastic bottles!

The FFI-Macquarie Taskforce and a number of our Indonesian team are here today participating in side events, particularly one held by the Indonesian Government who will present their experiences from REDD. Frank Momberg, FFI’s Asia-Pacific Regional Director of Development, and Dewi Rizki, REDD National Coordinator, FFI Indonesia, will talk to us later and give us an overview of FFI Indonesia’s hopes for COP15.
