Bali Conference 2007


The United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Bali, held in Bali, Indonesia, from 3 to 15 December 2007, was the 13th UN International Conference on Climate Change, annual meeting of the UNFCCC of the United Nations on Climate Change (UNFCCC). 10,000 participants, including representatives from 180 countries. The adoption of the "Bali Road Map" initiated negotiations on a global agreement on climate change and detailed a timetable for these negotiations with the promise of a conclusion in 2009 with the Copenhagen Conference.

Achievements of the conference

Present countries, including the United States, have agreed on a "soupa leaf", the work program to prepare for the Copenhagen conference, or to agree on the commitments made by countries for the period post-2012 (end of Kyoto Protocol).

This leaflet establishes a consensus on the need to conduct discussions and agreements through 2009 to set new targets to be implemented after 2012.

The road map also refers to the different commitments between developed and developing countries. The former assume commitments to reduce emissions, when the latter commit themselves to adopt concrete measures to reduce their emissions in the future, but there is no maximum limit of the issue.

There is no numerical target in the official conference text, but explicitly refers to the fourth IPCC Report, announcing that it is necessary to reduce global emissions by at least 50% by 2050.
