About: The Climate Change Task Force (CCTF) is an independent, non-governmental panel comprised of leading international climate change thinkers, scientists as well as former and current statesmen and officials working to maximize Copenhagen climate deal, “recalibrate” post Copenhagen efforts in line with latest science and actively engage civil society in the search for appropriate and adequate solutions .
