Today sign the start of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań, Poland

Today sign the start of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poznań, Poland, that will last for about 2 weeks.
"The 14th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC and the 4th meeting of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol will draw almost 11000 participants, including government delegates from the 187 Parties to the UNFCCC and representatives from business and industry.
The two-week meeting is the halfway mark in the negotiations on an ambitious and effective international climate change deal to be clinched in Copenhagen in 2009. Parties have little more than a year to agree on strengthened action on mitigation, adaptation, finance and technology.
A compilation paper of proposals for solutions has been put together. This can serve as a first version of a negotiating text in Poznań. Because of the limited time still available, it is critical that real progress is made and that Parties identify which proposals to take forward in 2009."It is a very important step wich precede the Kyoto Protocol ratification"(from the UNFCC website http://unfccc.int/meetings/cop_14/items/4481.php).
