Manoeuvring ahead of climate talks

摘要

With the next session of international climate negotiations scheduled on 4-5 June in Bonn, climate diplomacy is becoming more insistent. After visiting the United States and China, Climate Action Commissioner Connie Hede-gaard convened in Brussels, on 30 April, around the three presidencies -Poland (2013), Peru (2014) and France (2015) - the competent ministers for around 30 African, Caribbean, Pacific and Latin American countries for an informal meeting. Now is the time to form alliances, "coalitions of interests" capable of defending common positions in the international arena. The day's proceedings, co-chaired by the commissioner and Norway's Environment Minister Tine Sundtoft, were part of this process.
