Mexico, which will host the United Nations’ main annual climate change meeting in November and December, proposed two further negotiating sessions to prepare for the talks.
A week-long session should be held in mid-April, with another set of discussions in September or October, Mexico’s delegation said in a letter posted today on the Web site of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC, which organizes the global effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
The UNFCCC has already scheduled talks in Germany in June to prepare for the Mexican meeting. Mexican President Felipe Calderon said last month at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that governments need to reach a “comprehensive, robust and substantial agreement” at the Mexico meeting.
The 2009 summit in Copenhagen failed to produce a legally binding treaty to fight climate change. The NEX index tracking shares of 86 clean energy companies worldwide has fallen almost 12 percent since those talks finished.
