This afternoon, the Secretary-General will address the General Assembly’s informal meeting on climate change. He is expected to say he remains positive about the prospects for the Copenhagen climate change meeting, especially in light of recent announcements and commitments by countries. But of course you will hear a little more from Yvo de Boer in a few minutes.
He will emphasize the need for the leadership and engagement of Heads of State and Government in the run-up to the Conference, and their presence at the Conference. The Secretary-General still believes we can achieve an agreement in Copenhagen that is operational, ready to be immediately implemented, and which will provide the foundation for a legally binding climate treaty that can be signed as early as possible in 2010.
