13 December - Day 7 Reflections
Forests and forest issues are a key focus of today's discussions in Copenhagen. Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Hilary Benn, today delivered this speech, emphasising the need to agree REDD + here in Copenhagen, to help manage deforestation issues and thus limit dangerous climate change.
He added 'The greatest thing that we could do for the biodiversity of our natural world would be to secure an agreement here in Copenhagen.'
