Durban Climate Change Conference - November 2011
After the frustrations at the Copenhagen conference and the struggle to rescue the multilateral climate regime in Cancun, negotiators at the Durban Climate Change Conference turned a corner and not only resuscitated the Kyoto Protocol but, in doing so, adopted a decision that will lead to negotiations on a more inclusive 21st century climate regime. Many welcomed the adopted decisions including on the Green Climate Fund, and the Durban Platform, as well as the process to launch an agreement with legal force.
34th Session of the IPCC (IPCC-34)
The IPCC adopted the revised Procedures for the Preparation, Review, Acceptance, Adoption, Approval and Publication of IPCC Reports, as well as the Implementation Procedures and Disclosure Form for the Conflict of Interest Policy. The Panel also formally accepted the Summary for Policy Makers of the Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation.
