Publisher's Synopsis
It's not a negotiation, it's hand to hand combat.
11 December 1997
The Kyoto Conference Centre, 5am
The nations of the world are in deadlock. Eleven hours have passed since the UN's landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out. And agreement feels a world away . . .
Their prize: the world's first legally binding emissions targets. Their obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman.
Global in scale and personal at heart, Kyoto is the breathless, gripping tale of a moment when, finally, the impossible seemed possible. It will open at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in June 2024.
