Romina Picolotti, Argentina’s Minister of Environment, authored “A Tale of Two Cities: Lessons for Climate Negotiators” She explores lessons from the Montreal Protocol’s governance system that climate negotiators in Bali should seek to emulate.

Mélanie Requier-Desjardins, Observatoire du Sahara et du Sahel, authored “Climate Variability, a Common Factor of Desertification and Climate Change” She examines the relationship between desertification and climate change and develops suggestions to ensure that efforts related to adaptation and desertification converge.
