United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
The United Nations Climate Change Conference, Poznań, Poland - COP 14
1-12 December 2008
The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań will be a milestone on the road
to success for the processes which were launched under the Bali Road Map. The meeting comes
midway between COP 13 in Bali, which saw the launch of negotiations on strengthened
international action on climate change, and COP 15 Copenhagen, at which the negotiations are
set to conclude.
The conference will include the 29th sessions of the Convention’s subsidiary bodies -
SBSTA and SBI – as well as the 4th session of the AWG-LCA and the 2nd part of the 6th
session of the AWG-KP. The Poznań meeting, which is expected to draw around eight
thousand participants, will both advance international cooperation on a future climate change
regime and ensure progress on key issues.

UNFCCC Executive Secretary: "Africa needs to be tied into the international
response to climate change, both with regard to adaptation, as well as
mitigation."
Algiers, Algeria
19 November 2008
In a speech to the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment in Algiers, Yvo de Boer
said that an agreed outcome at Copenhagen must be more Africa-friendly and spur enabling
support for the continent. He stressed that the international climate change process has the
opportunity to move towards a self-financing climate compact that can generate such support
for Africa and other developing countries, not least by expanding the carbon market.
