Ian Fry is the International Environmental Officer for the Government of Tuvalu. He has represented Tuvalu as part of their delegation to climate change meetings since the start of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997.

Ian will discuss the outcomes of the climate change conference in Durban from a Small Island State perspective. The Australian Government says the meeting was a step forward, but is this really the case? Have we just put climate change on the back burner? Ian will also discuss the implications of Canada’s withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol and other developments on the international climate change front.
