 Canada is
proud and honoured to welcome the world to a landmark event in the global effort to address climate
change as, together with the City of Montréal, it hosts the United Nations Climate Change
Conference from November 28 to December 9, 2005.
Montreal 2005 is expected to bring as many as 10,000 people to the city, including delegates,
official observers from government, industry, business, the scientific community, and other groups
interested in action on climate change. The parallel events are expected to attract 2,000 to 3,000
people alone, and up to 1,000 journalists from around the world will cover the conference - in all,
one of the largest meetings ever held in Canada, and the largest non-sporting event in Montréal
since EXPO 67.
The secretariat of the Climate Change Convention and the Government of Canada are coordinating their
web sites for Montreal 2005. Together, this effort will provide a comprehensive collection of
information and web services for conference participants and the public.
The Montreal 2005 web site, managed by the Government of
Canada, provides general information about the United Nations Climate Change Conference and details
about parallel events and activities called 'A World of Solutions'. Here is an outline
of the content that you will find on this web site.

Canada and Montreal 2005
|
|
A series of dynamic parallel events will ensure Montréal 2005 reaches well beyond the negotiations
taking place inside the city's Palais des Congrès. These events will give delegates and the
public alike the opportunity to view a wide range of perspectives and solutions to the global challenge
of climate change, and allow people from all sectors and backgrounds to exchange information and learn
from the experience of others.

reduction credits.
