Climate change negotiations

Global climate negotiations are at an impasse. How can we get around it? A new All-Party Parliamentary Group discusses the options.

Climate change negotiations and capacity building work at 16th edition of Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP16).

Last month (4–9 October), more than 2300 government delegates, observers and intergovernmental organisations met in Tianjin, China in a search for common ground to achieve strong action on climate change.

Development and Climate Days is an annual event held during the UNFCCC Conference of Parties. The events offer formal presentations of work on climate change, and opportunity to network, share literature, and showcase video.

Preparations are well under way for the 2010 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP16) to be held in Cancún, Mexico. We will be running the Development and Climate Days event again this year which has been a feature of the UNFCCC negotiations since 2002.

The film festival that made up part of last year's event was a particular highlight. The short films shown during last year's four day event represented the work of amateur and independent film-makers from over 50 countries.
