After the
2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference on the island
Bali in
Indonesia in December, 2007 the participating nations adopted the
Bali Road Map as a two-year process to finalizing a binding agreement in
2009 in Copenhagen. The conference encompassed meetings of several bodies, including the 13th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 13) and the 3rd Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (MOP 3 or CMP 3).
