I was invited to the launch this event, run by the Smith School of Economy and the Environment at the Oxford Union Society. President Mikhail Gorbachev (Former President of the Soviet Union and Founding President of Green Cross International) was the main speaker and Janez Potočnik (European Commissioner for Environment) also spoke on Climate Negotiations: six months on from Copenhagen.

Gorbachev spoke in Russian and his interpreter spoke at the same time in English.  I’m afraid it was pretty hard to hear what either was saying.
