IPCC Synthesis Report and Valencia Meeting

As you know, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change held a meeting in Valencia on 12-17 November 2007.  It discussed and then adopted the Synthesis Report of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, as well as a shorter Summary for Policy Makers.

The report was launched by the UN Secretary General on 17 November.  It is expected to be a key reference document during the meetings of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol in Bali and beyond.

The Third World Network has produced a report of the Valencia meeting and the IPCC Synthesis Report.  The report was written by Lim Li Lin, senior researcher and legal advisor of TWN.

It is in the attached file.  We hope you find it useful.

With best regards
