http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_off ... ate-Change
President Obama and President Calderon today announced plans to strengthen and deepen bilateral cooperation by establishing the US-Mexico Bilateral Framework on Clean Energy and Climate Change. During their first conversation in January 2009, then President-elect Obama and President Calderon discussed the need for joint efforts to reach our common goal of achieving a low carbon future and a clean energy economy. This framework builds on that discussion.
Both countries stressed that a financial architecture to mobilize investment in climate-friendly technologies is crucial to a successful agreed outcome in Copenhagen. Several countries have made specific proposals on financial mechanisms, including Mexico. Recognizing Mexico

New e-publication: "Tourism Development in a Changing Climate
Backgrounds and Perspectives on the Role of Tourism in International Climate Politics
Tourism Development in a Changing Climate On the occasion of the climate conference COP 15 in Copenhagen, respect and partners illustrate backgrounds and perspectives on the role of tourism in international climate politics. The publication shows that the interrelations between climate change and international development present major challenges to the tourism sector.
In the countries of the North, travelling has become an integral part of the personal and professional lives of a large part of the population. Globally, tourism consumption is a privilege of a few. With their emissions from transportation, they contribute disproportionately to climate change. At the same time, it has often been suggested that the economies in many countries of the South are highly dependent on global tourism flows. Would changes in travel behaviour that benefit the climate be counterproductive when it comes to poverty eradication? This publication provides background information on this complex question which is relevant for both climate and development policies.
