Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2010
188 Deputy Liz McManus asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will report on the recent United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change climate discussions in Bonn, Germany; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21118/10]
View answerThe recent round of negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change took place over the three days 9 to 11 April 2010. This session was an agenda setting exercise for the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention and the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol, and did not include a Ministerial segment.
The session was successful, in that the Ad Hoc Working Group on long-term cooperative action adopted conclusions on the organisation and methods of its work in 2010, and the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Kyoto Protocol adopted conclusions on its work programme for 2010. Copies of both sets of conclusions (FCCC/AWGLCA/2010/3 and FCCC/KP/AWG/2010/3) are available on the Convention website — www.unfccc.com.
