The last conference of the Parties that took place in Durban in 2011 has put climate negotiations at the crossroads again.

This, along with low expectations for the survival of the Kyoto Protocol post-2012 cast serious doubts on the continued role of UNFCCC and the future of a topdown, multilateral approach in climate negotiations.
