Pretext for this meeting was the visit of two important guests in Poland - James Hughes, Head of Carbon Budgets Team in the British Department for Energy and Climate Change and Mary Taylor, Climate Campaigner from Friends of the Earth Europe. The meeting was conducted by Michael Halpin, Head of Climate Change and Energy Unit, the British Embassy together with Zbigniew M. Karaczun, President of the Polish Ecological Club Mazovian Branch and Andrzej Kassenberg, President of the Institute for Sustainable Development - both experts of the Climate Coalition.

Many Polish officials were invited. Representatives of the chancellery of the President of Poland, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Regional Development, Ministry of Infrastructure, Ministry of Economy, Warsaw City Office, Polish Confederation of Private Employers Lewiatan, Institute of Renewable Energy and representatives of the member organisations of the Climate Coalition participated in the meeting.

Guests heard lectures about British Climate Act and about the role of the British NGOs (especially Friends of the Earth) in creating and passing this act by the British Parliament. During the debate they were considering if such act would be a good tool for climate protection in Poland, and what barriers could make passing such act in our country difficult. Since the idea of creating such act met with quite friendly reaction of the participants, Climate Coalition will continue to initiate activities with a goal of starting official works on such act.
