Conference Proceedings on the Internet

People around the world can use the Internet to follow the negotiations at this session of the Conference of the Parties of the Climate Change Convention and its subsidiary bodies. From 29 October, to the end of the conference on 9 November, all official meetings and other selected events will be available from the conference website: unfccc.int/cop7/webcast/.

Owing to the dynamic nature of the negotiations, meetings and other events will be recorded when and where they happen, rather than being streamed live.  All on-demand recordings can be accessed from the on-demand database 30 minutes after completion of the meeting or event.  Each recording is classified by date, agenda item and type of meeting.  A special feature of the on-demand archives are ‘video anchors’ that allows one to go directly to the discussion of a particular agenda item. Audio/video on-demand archives will be delivered where possible in the original language and in English.  An information-frame lists each item on the agenda, while a subtitling frame provides detailed information on the item under discussion or on the speaker.

All official meetings of the Conference of the Parties, the Subsidiary Body for Implementation and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice will be available on-demand.  In addition, selected side events of the Parties, secretariat and nongovernmental organizations as well as press conferences and briefings will be made available.

A schedule of available events can be found by clicking on the Programme button on the website. In addition, a timetable and Meetings listing, is automatically generated and posted to the website throughout the day to provide information on additions or changes in the programme schedule.
