This website was created by a student for the College of Charleston Master in Environmental Studies EVSS 695 Global Climate Change Course. For this project, each student was given a country to represent at a mock UN Climate Conference being held on 19 November 2009. The purpose of this website is to provide the reader with information concerning Bangladesh's views on climate change policy and strategy that will be used during the Post-Kyoto Protocol negotiations at the Conference of Parties in Copenhagen, Denmark from 7 December to 16 December 2009.
