United Nations meeting on climate change
The event is taking place in the Gran Via exhibition centre
Until the 6th of November, Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via exhibition centre is hosting the Meeting on climate change organised by the United Nations to prepare the coming summit in Copenhagen in December.
Around 4,000 representatives of governments and organisations from 190 countries are participating in the meeting, the aim of which is to reach a consensus on the foundations of a world agreement which will serve to alleviate global warming and extend the Kyoto protocol, current framework of action for the reduction of emissions.
Fira de Barcelona will again provide the setting for a global event on the environment and greenhouse gas emissions, after having hosted the sixth Carbon Expo in May.
