Bonner Wirtschaftsblog) - Bonn – On Monday, 26 January 2009, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Mr. Yvo de Boer, will address the UK Parliament on “Brokering a global deal on Climate Change”. Before speaking to the MPs, the UN’s top climate change official will outline the central messages to UK policy makers at a morning press briefing.
A key focus of this briefing will be on what the UN negotiating process needs to deliver in order to arrive at an ambitious and effective international climate change deal at Copenhagen in December of this year and what the UK and other industrialised countries can do to ensure the success of the Copenhagen deal, not least by helping key developing countries to adapt to the inevitable effects of climate change.
The briefing will take place at 11:00 a.m. GMT
