After Bali: Setting out on the road to Copenhagen
By Yvo de Boer, UNFCCC Executive Secretary
UN Climate Change Conference in Bali last year was historic. There was a great desire of Parties to make
progress, huge public awareness and a sense of joint purpose and common ownership of the outcome. With regard
to the future, the conference delivered what it was supposed to do: the launch of negotiations to craft a new
international climate change agreement by the end of 2009, whilst setting a clear roadmap for these talks.
The meeting delivered immediate results which were particularly important for developing countries, not least
in the areas of adaptation funding, technology transfer and reducing emissions from deforestation. And the
conference established a timetable for negotiations on the new emission targets for industrialized countries
under the Kyoto Protocol, along with defining the scope and content of the upcoming review of the
Protocol.

Important steps taken to expand CDM in Africa, much remains to be done – Nairobi Framework
partners
Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia
A good start has been made to extend the benefits of the clean development mechanism (CDM) to Africa, but a
great deal more remains to be done, and much more is needed in terms of donor support, say representatives of
the five agencies implementing the Nairobi Framework aimed at spreading the benefits of the CDM.
