As last December's much anticipated UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen ended without a legally binding agreement, the outcome is regarded as mixed.  While President Obama calls it a "meaningful and unprecedented breakthrough," the NGO community's reaction is far less enthusiastic, even calling it a failure. Join Sascha Müller-Kraenner, European representative to the Nature Conservancy and Alexander Ochs, Director of the Climate and Energy Program at the Worldwatch Institute and find out what the future of transatlantic climate cooperation is, how differences between the EU and the U.S. can be overcome and what will happen on the road ahead to the next climate change conference in Mexico City.
