The Roadmap was initiated at the UN Climate Change Conference in December 2007 in Bali, Indonesia. This Roadmap mirrows the national roadmap process in the two-year period from December 2007 (COP 13) to December 2009 (COP 15). The aim is to advocate for a strong post-2012 climate deal and to emphasise the crucial role of cities and local governments in climate protection.
