Minter Ellison is sending one of its lawyers to the 15th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP 15).

Cheryl Edwardes, a special counsel at Minters and former WA Environment Minister, will provide
regular feedback to key Minter Ellison clients and to local business leaders throughout the conference.

She will offer detailed post conference reports to clients in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to
assist them with forward planning and contents will be available to our New Zealand experts.

 

Edwardes said her attendance at COP 15 reinforces the firm as an active participant in climate change
leadership.

“We need to be proactive about preparing ourselves with the technical skills and capabilities necessary to
address climate change issues at all levels of government, in industry and in big and small business,” she said.

“With an understanding of carbon emissions and other climate change issues being faced across the state and the nation, attending the conference gives us the chance to see what world leaders and industry are saying and doing.”

The 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) is taking place at Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark from the 7th to the 18th of December, 2009.
