BERLIN .- In early February will travel to Mexico, executive secretary of the UN Conference on Climate Change, Yvo de Boer, to prepare with Mexican President Felipe Calderon's agenda in 2010, containing the ministerial conference will take place in Bonn in late May or early June.
In a press conference held in Bonn, De Boer said he hoped that countries interested in joining the Copenhagen agreement in principle to do so until next January 31 to give impetus to the process of negotiations ahead of the Mexico summit later this year.
De Boer pointed out that knowing the list of countries that adhere to the Copenhagen agreement that the summit was not formally adopted significance has a purely administrative.
The executive secretary added that countries confirm their membership may also advance about their plans for reducing, in the case of industrialized nations, or their plans of action to combat climate change in developing countries.
De Boer acknowledged that the Copenhagen summit did not yield results as satisfactory as those that were expected, but a foundation to continue working.
"Now we are in a period of reflection, which will discuss," he said.
The UN representative said that Copenhagen served to establish some key points important as the financial conditions to mitigate the economic effects that will combat climate change in developing countries.
From Bonn, De Boer urged industrialized countries to reserve their respective budget allocations for this purpose, as it has done since, as noted, the European Commission (EC).
The Copenhagen agreement established a fund totaling ten billion dollars between 2010 and 2012 for the most vulnerable countries cope with climate change impacts, and a hundred billion a year from 2020 to mitigation and adaptation.
The executive secretary stopped expectations of a binding agreement already in Mexico and noted that the countries with which it has held discussions in recent weeks they expect out of the forthcoming summit "conclusions" that can later be converted into a "legal package."
He also stressed that Mexico "can not be the last word" in relation to the objectives of reduction of pollutant gases, because the figures used today are still far from the recommendations of the scientific community to really tackle climate change .
