Bangkok Intercessional 2012

From August 30 to September 5, the UNFCCC held informal additional sessions of the ad hoc working groups in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Bangkok sessions set out to resolve and find practical solutions to various outstanding issues from the Durban negotiations held last year (COP 17) and the June 2012 Bonn intercessional meetings.

Work for the third part of AWG-KP 16 were the same as for the June session, with Parties continuing to engage in the policy discussion in the contact group and in the work on the more specific issues in the spin-off groups.
