United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will seek to advance the global agenda on climate change when he meets with heads of state and other top officials from more than 150 countries at United Nations Headquarters on 24 September, a statement from UN news center said on Saturday.
More than 70 heads of state or government will attend the one-day event, making it the largest meeting ever of world leaders on climate change.<>
The high-level event -- which takes place one day before the opening of the UN General Assembly’s annual General Debate -- is aimed at securing political commitment and building momentum for the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali where negotiations about a new international climate agreement should start.
The Bali meeting, from 3 to 14 December, will convene the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
"Bali must advance a negotiating agenda to combat climate change on all fronts, including adaptation, mitigation, clean technologies, deforestation and resource mobilization," said Ban, who has made the issue one of his top priorities.
"Bali must be the political response to the recent scientific reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. All countries must do what they can to reach agreement by 2009, and to have it in force by the expiry of the current Kyoto Protocol commitment period in 2012," he was quoted by the state news agency as saying.
