Background Information
193 countries gathered at The UN Climate Change Conference in Cancún, Mexico where they produced a balanced package of decisions that set all governments more firmly on the path towards a low-emissions future and support enhanced action on climate change in the developing world. The United Nations Climate Change Conferences in Cancun and in Copenhagen were further steps on the way to a balanced life of human and nature. The Conference in Cancun took place from 29 November to 10 December of 2010 created a new \”Cancun Adaptation Framework”. This framework established an improved planning and implementation of adaptation projects in developing countries through increased financial and technical support, including a clear process for continuing work on loss and damage.
As climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, attendees of the Cancun Conference concluded Conventions based on concerns made at the Cancun Conference. Their vision addresses mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development and transfer, and capacity-building in a balanced, integrated and comprehensive manner to enhance and achieve the full, effective and sustained implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, now, up to and beyond 2012. “The outcomes in Cancun have given us important tools. Now we must use them, and strengthen our efforts in line with the scientific imperative for action,” stated Mr. Ban.
We have put together a panel of experts who are familiar with the conference as well as the topic to examine the current state of climate change and potential action plans two months later.
