ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability – has produced a background report for the participants at the Local Government Climate Change Leadership Summit.
The report focuses on the Local Government Climate Roadmap that was launched in Bali, Indonesia, in December 2007 at the Local Government Climate Sessions held in parallel to the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference.
The roadmap is designed to be an accompanying process to the international negotiations leading up to COP15 in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009, where the post-2012 climate agreement shall be negotiated and hopefully adopted.
The report was presented for the participants at the Climate Summit, and it is also relevant reading for anybody else with interest in climate change.
ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability – is an international association of local governments as well as national and regional local government organisations that have made a commitment to sustainable development.
The report can be downloaded to the right.
