We will also be launching two special issues of our academic journal: Womens unequal pay and poverty, highlighting the gendered aspect of the climate debate- women are more likely to be poor, and also to suffer the effects of climate change, in the Tsunami far more women were killed than men,and are more directly dependent on natural capital resources and also are at the forefront of change and population limiting depends on empowerment and education of women with contributions from every corner of the world including 2 from Bangladesh.

We are also launching a double issue of the journal - specially on climate change with a range of top experts, including the author of the nobel prize winning IPCC report and Kyoto, as well as in the same series an article by Lord Nicholas Stern author of the Stern Review.

• Protesters breach security COP15Protesters breach security at COP15 - It is the protesters job to highlight weaknesses in the process but its securities job to peacefully protect negotiators This breach is unlikely to instill confidence in the host countries ability to look after deleguates- that is those delegates who are allowed to participate- The rest have been shunted to a side event in a large venue -with only hamburgers for the vegetarians-which is completely unbelievable considering Stern and IPCC Pachuri just proclaimed the only hope now is vegetarianism ! This is not a good start !

• Climate finance -danger for the talks or opportunityClimate finance
• Conference focuses on wealth creation not climate stabilityInstead of choosing 1.5 degrees to save small island states and prevent worst case warming -Copenhagen climate conference is choosing " wealth creation by trickle down" to stop carbon usage rising- and to stop dangerous and catastrophic climate change. This has been in operation since ww2 and hasnt worked up to now, in fact its probably caused the mess. We dont need more of the same - we need a complete change in policy!
