In consultation with the Host Country and responding to numerous queries from participants, the Climate
Change secretariat would like to propose that the dress code for participants at the upcoming conference be
adapted to take into account the tropical weather in Ghana.
Mr. Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary, has exempted secretariat staff from wearing jackets and ties after
the opening ceremony. The secretariat invites participants to follow suit. The secretariat hopes that
amending the dress code will allow participants to conduct discussions in a more comfortable environment,
as well as limit the use of air conditioning and thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
 Accra Climate Change Conference - August 2008The latest round of United Nations climate change negotiations took place in Accra, Ghana, from 21-27 August. The Accra Climate Change Talks took forward work on a strengthened and effective international climate change deal under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as work on emission reduction rules and tools under the Kyoto Protocol. This is part of a negotiating process that will be concluded in Copenhagen at the end of 2009. Over 1600 participants attended the Accra meeting, which was the third major UNFCCC gathering this year.
