The climate crisis out in the cold?

COP15 in Copenhagen still haunts in the wings and now it will all start up again at COP17 in South Africa. The global climate crisis is far from resolved but has apparently been forgotten by the media. What is the position of the Nordic countries up to COP17 and what steps have been taken since COP15? Analys Norden looks at this question in this year's last theme issue, which will be published in English for COP17.
