AWG-LCA 3 and AWG-KP 6

The next round of United Nations climate change negotiations will take place in Accra, Ghana, from 21-27 August. The Accra Climate Change Talks will take forward work on a strengthened and effective international climate change deal under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as work on emission reduction rules and tools under the Kyoto Protocol. This is part of a negotiating process that will be concluded in Copenhagen at the end of 2009. Over a thousand participants are expected to attend the Accra meeting, which is the third major UNFCCC gathering this year.

The venue for the sessions is the Accra International Conference Center (AICC). A limited number of side events and exhibits focused on the Accra Climate Talks will take place at Accra, for which the on-line application process is now closed.
