Azerbaijani delegation led by the Deputy Director of the National Hydrometeorology Department of Azerbaijan`s Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources Umayra Tagiyeva is participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland.
The two-week meeting, the fourteenth Conference of the 192 Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the fourth meeting of the 183 Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, is the halfway mark in the negotiations on an ambitious and effective international response to climate change. The deal is to be clinched in Copenhagen at the end of 2009 and will take effect in 2013, the year after the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol expires.
The meeting sees the launch of negotiations on strengthened international action on climate change.
Almost eleven thousand participants are attending the Poznan meeting, which will both advance international cooperation on a future climate change regime and ensure progress on key issues.
