Tarawa climate change conference 2010
The Tarawa Climate Change Conference (TCCC) seeks to support the initiative of the President of Kiribati to hold a consultative forum between vulnerable states and their partners with a view of creating an enabling environment for multiparty negotiations under the auspices of the UNFCCC. The conference is a successor event to the Climate Vulnerable Forum (V11) held in November 2009 in the Maldives. Based on the lessons learned in the Community of Practice (COP) process to-date, the TCCC proposes a more inclusive format of consultations, involving key partners among major developed and developing nations.
The TCCC will be a major advocacy and partnership building event embedded in the overall context of global and regional (Pacific) consultations on climate change. Furthermore, the TCCC aims to be an integral part of the process of regional and global consultations scheduled to take place in 2010.
The ultimate objective of TCCC is to provide a forum to strengthen the harmony between parties to the COP process with respect to the critical adaptation challenges faced by our nations.
