ACP Group Preparatory Meeting for the UNFCCC COP17 in Durban

15 – 16 November 2011

Background

The ACP Secretariat organised for its Member States a two-days meeting in preparation of the COP17. The meeting was held on the 15th and 16th of November at the ACP House (Brussels, Belgium) and chaired by H.E. A. Joy Grant, Ambassador of Belize in Brussels.

The main objective was to facilitate exchange of views and positions among the ACP Member States and Regions. To this end, key climate change technical specialists, policy makers and negotiators from the respective regions and groups (Africa, Caribbean, Pacific, SIDS) were invited to share progress made in the process of formulating standpoints and views and to brief all participants on their actual positions. Also an EC-representative from DG CLIMA presented an overview of the EU position, giving thereby special attention to those issues that are of interest to the ACP Group of States.
