ngdom The first important meetings in 2010 after the painstaking two weeks of negotiations in Copenhagen were scheduled from 9 to 11 April in Bonn. The 11th session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP 11) and the ninth session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Longterm Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWGLCA 9) took place simultaneously during that period. The AWG-KP decided to focus its work on the scale of emission reductions to be achieved by Annex I Part

ngdom Past months have been relatively quiet for international negotiators, the main event being the Accra Climate Change talks. This allows us to give an overview of climate change related activity also in other international fora. 1. United Nations The two-track international climate negotiation process has been brought forward in Accra, Ghana, from August 21 to 27 2008.1 The third meeting of the Ad-Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) took place in parallel to the sixth meeting of the Ad-Hoc Working Group

, Guildford In past months, climate change has been debated at the United Nations (UN) headquarters on several occasions. The first occasion was at the Security Council, where a ministerial-level open debate on the relationship between energy, security and climate change was held in April.1 Following that debate, climate change was then brought up before the General Assembly from 31 July to 2 August in the Informal Thematic Debate on Climate Change as a Global Challenge.2 Broad and important issues, such as the linkage between climate and

Guildford The three Working Groups of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approved their contributions to the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in the first months of 2007. During a meeting in Paris from 29 January to 1 February 2007, Working Group I approved its contribution to the AR4 titled “Climate Change 2007: the Physical Science Basis”. Whereas the IPCC had stated in 2001 that there was a 66% probability that climate change was human-induced, this percentage has now been raised to 90% in the new report. Working G
