UNFCCC Meeting, Bonn, 1 - 12 June
UNFCCC meeting in Bonn was 1 - 12 June. And this Bonn talks included the second major session this year on a strengthened international climate change agreement to be finalized in December 2009 in Copenhagen... but not going well. TOO SLOW.
Writing up from wikipedia:
This is not fast progress. And the Muslim world must be taking a lead in pushing for more progress, faster progress, at future talks.
There is no second chance. Targets they must be agreed, and must be good targets.
The closing speech from the meeting:
Writing up from wikipedia:
Delegates from 183 countries met in Bonn from 1 to 12 June 2009. The purpose was to discuss key negotiating texts. These will serve as the basis for the international climate change agreement at Copenhagen. At the conclusion the AWG-KP negotiating group was still far away from the emission reduction range that has been set out by science to avoid the worst ravages of climate change: a minus 25% to minus 40% reduction below 1990 levels by 2020. The AWG-KP still needs to decide on the aggregate emission reduction target for industrialised countries, along with individual targets for each country. Progress was made in gaining clarification of the issues of concern to parties and including these concerns in the updated draft of the negotiating text.
