The Secretary-General will travel next week, on Friday 27 November, to Trinidad and Tobago to participate in the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
During his two-day visit, the Secretary-General will participate in special sessions on climate change, as well as hold bilateral meetings with Heads of State and Government on issues of mutual interest. The Secretary-General expects to focus the attention of these leaders on key issues that require their engagement in the climate change negotiations, in particular, concerning mitigation and finance. This Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting is an important gathering of political leaders in the run-up to next month’s Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change. The Secretary-General hopes to boost momentum for an ambitious outcome in Copenhagen that will advance international action on climate change. And of course, on the climate issue, you will have Yvo de Boer with us in a few minutes on the state of negotiations.
