Local Governments at the UNFCCC COP17/CMP7 report
2012/03/08
As countries negotiated a follow up to the Kyoto Protocol at the UNFCCC COP17/CMP7 in Durban, South Africa during November/December 2011, local governments were there to demonstrate their leadership in finding local climate solutions - and to ensure that cities are recognized, engaged and empowered in the global agreements. This was driven forward in Durban through a range of local government initiatives and positions that collectively called upon the UNFCCC Parties to “urbanise the climate agenda”. This report provides brief summaries of a variety of activities undertaken by ICLEI, local governments and key partners at COP17/CMP7 towards driving the urban climate agenda.
The report is available in two languages:
English
