What is Canadas role at COP meetings?
As a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Canada is a Party of COP and participates in annual COP sessions and negotiations. At COP 15, the Canadian delegation presented Canada’s position on climate change and participated in international negotiations and discussions about various climate change issues, including those under the Bali Action Plan. The 15th Conference of the Parties culminated in the Copenhagen Accord, a significant breakthrough in the global effort to address climate change. Canada will continue to work constructively in 2010 to implement the Copenhagen Accord and to complete the negotiations under the UNFCCC for a comprehensive, legally binding post-2012 agreement.
