The United Nations' top climate change official March 24 called for countries to develop a 2011 work plan for progress on a climate accord during upcoming negotiations in Bangkok, pursuant to a timeline set in December 2010. Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, speaking at an impromptu press conference during a meeting of ministers in Mexico City, urged governments to "move purposefully down the path they set" at the year-end climate change summit in Cancun, Mexico.
