The Conference, hosted by the Government of Indonesia, took place at the
Bali International Convention Centre and brought together more than
10,000 participants, including representatives of over 180 countries
together with observers from intergovernmental and nongovernmental
organizations and the media. The two week period included the sessions
of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, its subsidiary bodies as
well as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. A ministerial
segment in the second week concluded the Conference.
The conference culminated in the adoption of the Bali Road
Map, which consists of a number of forward-looking decisions
that represent the various tracks that are essential to reaching a
secure climate future. The Bali Road Map includes the Bali Action Plan,
which charts the course for a new negotiating process designed to tackle
climate change, with the aim of completing this by 2009. It also
includes the AWG-KP negotiations and their 2009 deadline, the launch of
the Adaptation Fund, the scope and content of the Article 9 review of
the Kyoto Protocol, as well as decisions on technology transfer and on
reducing emissions from deforestation (see the President's closing
remarks below).
