"The latest round of United Nations climate change negotiations took place in Accra, Ghana, from 21-27 August. The Accra Climate Change Talks took forward work on a strengthened and effective international climate change deal under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as work on emission reduction rules and tools under the Kyoto Protocol. This is part of a negotiating process that will be concluded in Copenhagen at the end of 2009. Over 1600 participants attended the Accra meeting, which was the third major UNFCCC gathering this year.

The Ad hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) held its third session, while the Ad hoc Working Group on further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) finished the first part of its sixth session.
