As governments, scientists, and environmentalists prepare for the Copenhagen meetings to hammer out the next international agreements on global climate change, Cambridge Forum brings together a group of researchers, political leaders, and local advocates to discuss the issues that will be on the table in Copenhagen .  U.S. Congressman Ed Markey has been invited to reflect on his ground-breaking legislation outlining the nation's plan to reduce carbon emissions, while the latest data on polar ice melt and sea level change is outlined.  Public health experts discuss the impact of warming on the movement of diseases and policy experts reflect on the security implications of climate changes.. How is this global data relevant to local environmental groups?  How can local groups co-ordinate their work, share best practices, and have a broader impact?
