The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań, 1-12 December 2008

The United Nations Climate Change Conference concluded in Poznań on Saturday 13 December with a clear
commitment from governments to shift into full negotiating mode next year in order to shape an ambitious and
effective international response to climate change, to be agreed in Copenhagen at the end of 2009. Parties
agreed that the first draft of a concrete negotiating text would be available at a UNFCCC gathering in Bonn in
June of 2009.
At Poznań, the finishing touches were put to the Kyoto Protocol’s Adaptation Fund, with Parties agreeing
that the Adaptation Fund Board should have legal capacity to grant direct access to developing
countries. Progress was also made on a number of important ongoing issues that are particularly important for
developing countries, including: adaptation; finance; technology; reducing emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation (REDD); and disaster management.
A key event at the Conference was a ministerial round table on a
shared vision on long-term cooperative action on climate change. The round table provided the opportunity
to lay the foundations for further work on the components of an agreed outcome at COP 15 in Copenhagen.
Further, it sent a clear message regarding the need to continue to build momentum on the many points of
convergence among all nations. The next major UNFCCC gathering will take place from 29 March to 8
April 2009 in Bonn, Germany.
